RELATING TO CHILD LABOR LAW.

SB 397 removes an existing exemption that allowed the State of [State], its local governments (like cities and counties), and the United States government to operate without following the state's child labor law. This means government agencies and federal entities working within the state would now be directly subject to the same rules restricting child labor as private businesses. The bill does not create new restrictions but ensures government entities comply with the existing law governing work hours, safety, and age limits for minors. It is currently pending in committee for the 2026 session.
