Child Labor Protection Act of 2014.
Summary
Existing law establishes a citation system for the imposition of civil sanctions against violators of the laws and regulations of the state relating to the employment of minors, and classifies citations according to the nature of the violation. This bill would authorize treble damages to an individual who was discriminated against in the terms or conditions of his or her employment because he or she filed a claim or civil action alleging a violation of employment laws that arose while the individual was a minor. The bill would further subject a specified class of violations of employment laws relating to the employment of minors to a civil penalty, as provided. The bill would also require the tolling of the statute of limitations for claims arising from violations of employment laws until the person allegedly aggrieved attains majority, and would declare the latter provision declaratory of existing law.
