Relates to ratifying the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the labor of persons under eighteen years of age
This bill is New York's formal approval to ratify a 1924 constitutional amendment that would give Congress authority to regulate labor for people under 18. If ratified by enough states, it would allow federal laws to limit or ban child labor, overriding conflicting state laws. The amendment was originally proposed by Congress but never completed ratification. This resolution is procedural - New York's legislature is voting to support the existing proposal, not creating new rules. The bill is currently under review by New York's Judiciary Committee.
