This bill proposes to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, specifically targeting the expansion of permissible working hours for employees aged 14 to 16 years old during school sessions. The amendment clarifies that employment for these teenagers will not be deemed oppressive child labor under specific conditions. These conditions include working 24 hours or less in a week when school is in session. Furthermore, the work must begin no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and end no later than 9:00 p.m. in the local time zone. This aims to provide greater flexibility for teenage employment while ensuring defined limits.
