SB436,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Subject to certain exceptions, current law prohibits a minor who is 14 or 15 years of age from being employed or permitted to work at any employment unless the minor’s employer obtains a written permit authorizing the employment of the minor. Subject to certain exceptions, current law also prohibits a minor from being permitted to work at any “street trade” unless 1) the minor’s employer obtains a street trade permit; and 2) the minor obtains an identification card. Street trade permits must contain certain information but otherwise be in the same format as child labor permits. Such permits are issued by the Department of Workforce Development or by certain other permit officers designated by DWD.
This bill eliminates these requirements to obtain permits and other associated provisions.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
