Child Labor Accountability Act of 2023

This bill requires the Secretary of Labor to submit annual reports to Congress detailing violations of child labor laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The reports must include specific data on violations - such as the number of cases, industries involved, ages and genders of affected child workers (defined as under 18), penalties assessed, and criminal prosecutions. It directly affects children working in violation of labor standards and aims to improve transparency in enforcement. The reports will help Congress monitor trends and inform future policy on child labor accountability.
