Establishes working hours for certain minors employed as professional athletes.*

This bill establishes specific work hour rules for minors (ages 14-15) employed as professional athletes by sports leagues or teams. It allows these young athletes to work after 11 p.m. on nights continuing a workday that started before 11 p.m., but only with a written parental/guardian permit specifying allowed hours. The bill prohibits work before 6 a.m. or after 3 a.m. on days preceding a school day, and requires the permit to detail permitted work times. It amends New Jersey's existing minor labor laws to create this exception for professional sports employment.
