Permits minors to work until 11 p.m. between Memorial Day and October 1 of each year in certain circumstances.

This bill changes New Jersey law to allow 14- and 15-year-old minors to work until 11 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. between Memorial Day and October 1 each year, with written parental permission. It specifically affects young workers in retail, restaurants, or similar settings during this summer period. The bill does not alter other restrictions, such as minimum age requirements, maximum weekly hours, or the need for parental consent. Current law already permits this age group to work until 9 p.m. during a similar timeframe (Memorial Day to Labor Day), so this extends the evening curfew by two hours.
