PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 92.8, subsection 19, Code 2001, is 1 2 amended to read as follows: 1 3 19. Occupations involving exposure to lead fumes or its 1 4 compounds, or to dangerous or poisonous dyes or chemicals. 1 5 This subsection shall not be construed to include the use of 1 6 detergents, cleaners, and protectants in work involving motor 1 7 vehicle cleaning, washing, and polishing if the person 1 8 employed is provided with and uses personal protective 1 9 equipment as needed provided the person under eighteen years 1 10 of age shall not be employed or permitted to combine the 1 11 chemicals which constitute the detergents, cleaners, or 1 12 protectants used to wash, clean, or polish motor vehicles 1 13 other than to dilute the detergents, cleaners, and protectants 1 14 with water.

EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of 1 20 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment. 1 21 EXPLANATION 1 22 This bill amends the child labor laws to provide that a 1 23 child under the age of 18 shall be permitted to use 1 24 detergents, cleaners, and protectants in motor vehicle 1 25 cleaning, washing, and polishing under certain conditions. 1 26 Current Code lists as a prohibited occupation for persons 1 27 under age 18 those occupations involving exposure to lead 1 28 fumes or its compounds, or to dangerous or poisonous dyes or 1 29 chemicals.
