HF 2171 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution memorializing Congress that the state of Minnesota reaffirms ratification of the Child Labor Amendment to the United States Constitution.

HF 2171 is a symbolic resolution, not a law. It asks Congress to recognize Minnesota's historical ratification of the Child Labor Amendment (ratified by Minnesota in 1933), which would authorize federal regulation of child labor for those under 18. The resolution has no legal effect, as the amendment remains unratified nationally (requiring 38 states, but only 27 have ratified) and federal child labor laws are already in place following the 1941 Supreme Court case *United States v. Darby Lumber Co.*
