HD 2690 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolutions providing for the ratification of the child labor amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Massachusetts' HD 2690 is a resolution formally ratifying a 1924 constitutional amendment proposal concerning child labor. It corrects the state's 1925 rejection of the amendment, which would grant Congress authority to regulate labor for people under 18 and suspend conflicting state laws. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Commonwealth to send certified copies to federal officials and state legislatures still needing to ratify the amendment. This is a procedural step to advance the amendment's path to constitutional adoption, not a new law affecting current child labor regulations.
