Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1198, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD LABOR,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to, among other things:
(1) Prohibit minors from working in adult entertainment;
(2) Modify and clarify work hour restrictions for minors; and
(3) Establish that any person who knowingly violates any provision of the Child Labor Law shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations testified in support of the bill.
Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended the bill by:
(1) Clarifying the restriction on the number of work hours that a minor may be employed during a calendar week;
(2) Adding a savings clause specifying that this bill does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before the bill's effective date; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1198, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1198, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
