CONTENT

 

The bill would amend the Youth Employment Standards Act to do the following:

 

 --   Delete a requirement that a youth work permit application be made only in-person.

 --   Require that a youth work permit issued to a minor child under 16 years old indicate clearly on the permit that the minor was under 16 years old.

 

Under the Act, an issuing officer may issue a work permit only upon application in-person by the minor desiring employment and after certain papers pertaining to a prospective employer's intent to employ a minor and proof of his or her age have been examined, approved, and filed. The bill would delete the requirement that the application be only in-person. ("Issuing officer" means the chief administrator of a school district, intermediate school district, public school academy, or nonpublic school, or a person authorized by that chief administrator in writing to act on his or her behalf.)

 

The Act also requires the color of a work permit for a minor under 16 years old to be distinct from that of a minor 16 years old or older. The bill would delete this requirement and, instead, require that a work permit issued to a minor child under 16 years old indicate clearly on the work permit that the minor was under 16 years old.
