Strengthens enforcement of child labor law.

This bill strengthens New Jersey's child labor law by increasing penalties for violations and requiring employer registration. It creates tiered fines: $500-$2,000 for basic violations (up to $4,000 for repeat offenses), $1,000-$2,000 for employing unregistered minors or violating school-hour rules, and $4,000 minimum for cases involving minor injuries or death. Employers must register with the Department of Labor, acknowledge written rules about penalties, and face registration suspension (1-2 years) or 3-year hiring bans for violations. The law directly affects employers hiring minors, particularly those in unsafe occupations, during school hours, or without proper authorization.
