SB 376 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Division of Labor rule relating to child labor

SB 376 authorizes the West Virginia Division of Labor to implement a child labor rule (42 CSR 09) that was developed and modified to address legislative objections. The rule, previously filed in the State Register, will establish regulations governing child labor practices. This procedural bill directly affects employers who hire minors and ensures the rule is officially in effect without altering its content.
