A bill for an act relating to civil liability for employers of minors.

HF 184 creates strict liability for employers who hire minors in Iowa. It requires employers to pay for any injury or death a minor employee suffers while working, without needing to prove the employer was negligent. This law directly affects businesses employing minors, such as retail or agricultural employers, by shifting the legal burden to them for workplace harm. The bill overrides previous rules (section 92.24) to ensure minors can seek compensation for work-related injuries or deaths.
