This legislation, titled the Children Harmed In Life-threatening or Dangerous Labor Act, significantly strengthens protections against child labor violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. It expands the definition of oppressive child labor to explicitly include employment for individuals under 18 in industries such as manufacturing, mining, trenching, meat processing, demolition, and explosives. The Secretary of Labor is mandated to identify and declare other occupations or places of work as dangerous for children, with these regulations requiring review and updates every five years. The bill enhances enforcement by holding companies responsible for child labor violations by contractors and subcontractors within their supply chains , providing a good faith defense. It extends the 'hot goods' prohibition period to 180 days and requires purchasers to take affirmative steps to ensure compliance. Additionally, the Secretary is authorized to affix 'Unlawfully manufactured; child labor' tags to goods produced in violation, with criminal penalties for tampering. A new enforcement tool grants the Secretary authority to issue stop work orders to violators, requiring compensation for affected workers. Penalties for child labor violations are substantially increased, with civil penalties for each employee subject to a violation rising to $160,350, and up to $728,760 for violations causing death or serious injury. These penalties can be doubled for repeated or willful violations, those in hazardous occupations, or cases involving multiple children. A new civil penalty of up to $75,000 is also introduced for anti-retaliation violations related to child labor complaints. Victims of child labor violations are empowered to seek significant compensatory and punitive damages, with minimum amounts set and a ten-year statute of limitations. Beyond the Fair Labor Standards Act, the bill extends child labor prohibitions to federal contractors and recipients of federal financial assistance under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act , the Davis-Bacon Act , and the Service Contract Act . These entities are prohibited from employing individuals under 16, or 16/17-year-olds in oppressive child labor, and must provide training and establish labor-management committees. Violators face liquidated damages, contract cancellation, and a three-year prohibition from receiving new federal contracts or assistance. Finally, the legislation mandates the Secretary of Labor to establish programs for education, training, identification, and support for victims of child labor. The Secretary must also collect and analyze data on work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths, including trends and enforcement actions. Annual reports to Congress are required, publishing these findings and offering recommendations to improve worker safety and prevent child labor.
