MINOR

This bill converts SB 1228 from an enrolled bill to a chaptered act, making it officially part of the Virginia Code. The substantive content of the employment restrictions for minors remains unchanged, with only formatting and layout adjustments applied to the text.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted with additional spacing and line breaks to meet official chaptered act standards, but no substantive policy changes were made to the employment restrictions for children under 18.
