Permits minors to work until 11 p.m. between Memorial Day and October 1 of each year in certain circumstances.

This bill (S 493) would allow 14- and 15-year-old minors to work until 11 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. between Memorial Day and October 1 each year, with written parental permission. It specifically applies to minors working in retail, restaurants, or similar settings during this summer period. The bill does not change existing limits on total weekly hours, required breaks, or prohibited occupations for minors. Current law already permits similar evening work for this age group during school vacation periods ending on Labor Day, but this bill extends the end time and slightly broadens the seasonal window.
