EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill modifies an exception to the limitation on how late a person under 16 years of age can be employed. The bill permits a person under 16 years of age to be employed until 10:30 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Current law permits such a person to be employed until 9:00 p.m. from June 1 through Labor Day. The limitation of 7:00 p.m. for the rest of the year is maintained.
