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 a week or 24 hours with parent's permission, rather than the current law’s maximum of 48 hours combined school and work a week. The bill also extends exemptions to certain work limits that currently apply only to youth agricultural workers to also apply to minors doing other types of work.
