RESOLUTION RATIFYING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES PERMITTING CONGRESS TO REGULATE CHILD LABOR.

Connecticut's HJ 48 is a resolution ratifying a 1924 proposed constitutional amendment that would grant Congress authority to regulate child labor for individuals under 18. This amendment, first passed by Congress in 1924 without a ratification deadline, requires 38 state ratifications to become part of the U.S. Constitution (currently 28 states have ratified). Connecticut previously rejected this amendment in 1925 and now seeks to complete the process by formally approving it. The resolution directs the governor to send certified copies to federal officials, with no fiscal impact on state or local governments.
