Extends hours that minor employed by national sports association, league, or team may work under certain circumstances.

This bill (S 4400) amends New Jersey's child labor law to allow minors aged 14-15 employed as professional athletes by national sports associations, leagues, or teams to work beyond 11:30 p.m. under specific conditions. It permits work after 11:30 p.m. only if it continues a workday that began before 11:30 p.m., such as for return travel or game delays, and requires a written parental or guardian permission specifying the hours. The change directly affects young athletes in professional sports organizations who face scheduling conflicts requiring late work. It does not alter existing work hour limits for other occupations or age groups.
