An Act To Allow Minors Under 16 Years Of Age To Work Until 9 P.M. During The School Year And Until 10 P.M. During Summer Vacation
LD 618 amends Maine law to allow minors under 16 to work until 9 p.m. during the school year and until 10 p.m. during summer vacation. It corrects a typo in the current law that previously misstated school-year work restrictions, ensuring minors can work until 9 p.m. without ambiguity. The summer work hour limit remains unchanged at 10 p.m. This change directly affects minor workers and their employers in Maine by clarifying allowable work hours.
