  2 34    Sec. 9.  Section 92.12, Code 2001, is amended to read as
  2 35 follows:

  3  2    Every person, firm, or corporation employing migrant
  3  3 laborers shall obtain and keep on file, accessible to any
  3  4 officer charged with the enforcement of this chapter, a
  3  5 special work permit, prior to the employment of such migratory
  3  6 laborer.  Special work permits for migrant workers shall be
  3  7 issued by the superintendent of schools, or the
  3  8 superintendent's designee, nearest the temporary living
  3  9 quarters of the family, or by the county director of social
  3 10 welfare or by the department of workforce development, upon
  3 11 application of the parent or head of the migrant family.  The
  3 12 person authorized to issue such permits for migratory workers
  3 13 shall not issue such permit until the person has received,
  3 14 examined, and approved one of the following as evidence of
  3 15 age:  a birth certificate, passport, baptism certificate,
  3 16 passport, permanent resident card, employment authorization
  3 17 card, or school record.  Applicants under fourteen years of
  3 18 age must obtain a certificate from a registered nurse or
  3 19 physician stating that the applicant for the work permit has
  3 20 reached the normal development of a child of the applicant's
  3 21 age and is in sufficiently sound health and physically able to
  3 22 perform the work for which the permit is sought.  One copy of
  3 23 the permit issued shall be given to the employer to be kept on
  3 24 file for the length of employment and upon termination of
  3 25 employment shall be returned to the labor commissioner.  One
  3 26 copy of the permit shall be kept by the issuing officer, and
  3 27 one copy forwarded to the commissioner, along with the
  3 28 certificate of fitness of the persons under fourteen years of
  3 29 age.  The blank forms for the work permit for migratory
  3 30 workers shall be formulated by the commissioner and furnished
  3 31 by the commissioner to the issuing officer.  
  3 32                           EXPLANATION
  3 33    This bill amends Code provisions administered by the labor
  3 34 commissioner, including provisions related to asbestos removal
  3 35 and encapsulation, boilers and unfired steam pressure vessels,
  4  1 boxing and wrestling, construction contractors, and child and
  4  2 migrant labor laws.
  4  3    The bill adds to the definition of "asbestos project", by
  4  4 providing that to meet the definition, a project must also
  4  5 fall within the definition of "construction" found in
  4  6 administrative rule for purposes of the Iowa employment
  4  7 security law (unemployment compensation).  The bill also
  4  8 allows a state agency or political subdivision to accept a bid
  4  9 for an asbestos project when the business entity making the
  4 10 bid contracts to have the work done by a permitted
  4 11 subcontractor.  Current law limits the bidding to permitted
  4 12 business entities.
  4 13    The bill strikes language that permits the commissioner to
  4 14 apportion the initial inspection of all affected steel hot
  4 15 water boilers over a six-year period, and replaces it with
  4 16 language requiring that the initial inspection occur prior to
  4 17 initial firing.
  4 18    The bill strikes language that defines as a "promoter" a
  4 19 person or business charging admission to view a boxing or
  4 20 wrestling match via closed-circuit or pay-per-view signal.
  4 21 Because such a person under the bill is no longer considered a
  4 22 promoter, the bill also strikes a provision exempting a person
  4 23 who distributes such a signal to a promoter or to a person
  4 24 viewing the signal in a private residence from the boxing and
  4 25 wrestling match licensing requirements.  The bill includes a
  4 26 conforming amendment relating to the promoter's responsibility
  4 27 for the conduct of officials and participants at a match.
  4 28    Under the current Code, a self-employed contractor who pays
  4 29 less than $1,000 annually to employees and does not work with
  4 30 or for other contractors in the same phases of construction is
  4 31 exempt from the fee requirements set forth in Code section
  4 32 91C.4.  The bill strikes the exemption, making such a person
  4 33 liable for the biennial $25 fee.
  4 34    Finally, the bill strikes from the child labor law Code
  4 35 chapter an outdated reference to the "local medical inspector
  5  1 of schools", and adds to the types of documents that may be
  5  2 used as evidence of age prior to the issuance of a work or
  5  3 migrant labor permit.
