Introduced by Sen. Tony Stamas (R) on June 19, 2007, to revise the law that restricts the maximum number of hours that minors age 16 and 17 who are in school can work. The bill sets the limit at 20 hours of work a week, rather than the current law’s maximum of 48 hours combined school and work a week. During the summer the current maximum is 48 hours a week, and this would not be changed. The standard school day is 6.1 hours (30.5 hours per week). .
- Referred to the Senate Economic Development and Regulatory Reform Committee on June 19, 2007.

It is already difficult for the few teenagers who have enough ambition to find work because of all the regulations involved. They can't even mow lawns because it involves dangerous heavy equipment. We are teaching them to be wards of the state rather than responsible self supporting confident adults. Who will pay your taxes when all productivity ends? Work is a good thing! There are no sweat shops. Let us live our lives!

just sit around trying to pass moronic stuff just to show that you are "doing something"?
Please stop it. Do nothing. Take a walk in the sun. (don't forget the government mandated sunscreen). Play solitaire. Go for coffee more often. Take up fishing (if you can afford it after all the new bees/taxes). We will all be better off. After 200 and some odd years we don't need thousands of new laws a year.
