Relating to: permits authorizing the employment of minors. (FE)

SB 462 updates the rules for permits allowing minors under 16 to work, directly affecting young workers and employers who hire them. The bill adds new exemptions to the permit requirement, including for minors working as election inspectors (as specified in state election law), in home settings, or for nonprofit organizations assisting elderly or disabled individuals. Employers must now maintain these permits on file and produce them for inspection upon request, with failure to do so being treated as evidence of unlawful employment. The bill also repeals an outdated section related to advertising for minor employment.
