Permits minors to work until 11 p.m. between Memorial Day and October 1 of each year in certain circumstances.
This bill (S 108) allows minors aged 14-15 to work until 11 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. during the summer period from Memorial Day through October 1, with written permission from a parent or guardian. It specifically applies to retail settings like restaurants and supermarkets, as well as roles like little league umpires. The bill does not change total weekly work hours, prohibited occupations, or required rest periods for minors. Current law already permits 14-15-year-olds to work until 9 p.m. during this timeframe, so this amendment extends the evening window by two hours. It affects minor workers in seasonal retail and service jobs during summer months, with no broader policy changes to labor regulations.
