Labor & Employment (Child Labor)

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to prohibit children under 18 from having direct contact with tobacco plants or dried tobacco leaves on farms. It directly affects minors working in tobacco agriculture by adding this restriction to existing labor protections. The key change modifies the law to explicitly exclude tobacco-related farming from exemptions that previously allowed minors in certain manufacturing or mining roles. This creates a clear policy change banning underage labor in direct tobacco handling on farms.
