Labor: youth employment; parent or legal guardian of a minor being educated at the minor's home; allow to issue a work permit for the minor. Amends sec. 2 of 1978 PA 90 (MCL 409.102).

HB 4030 amends Michigan's Youth Employment Standards Act to allow parents or legal guardians of homeschooled minors to issue work permits for their children. The bill changes the definition of "issuing officer" to explicitly include a minor's parent or guardian when the child is educated under Michigan's homeschooling law (MCL 380.1561). This directly affects homeschooled minors under 18 who seek employment, removing the prior requirement for school district authorization. The key mechanism updates the permit process to accommodate homeschooling families, streamlining access to work permits without school district involvement.
