LB 747 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to child labor, the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act, the Contractor Registration Act, and the Employee Classification Act

LB 747 amends Nebraska labor laws to remove the requirement for employers to obtain child employment certificates for workers under 16, simplifying compliance for businesses hiring minors. It eliminates a hotline and website for reporting suspected employee misclassification violations and grants the Labor Commissioner expanded authority to enforce wage payment laws. The bill affects all Nebraska employers, particularly those with minor employees or payroll systems, by updating enforcement mechanisms. It also repeals outdated sections of labor law to create more consistent regulations across child labor, wage collection, contractor registration, and employee classification rules.
