    This act modifies the child labor laws. It eliminates the prohibition on employment of children under age fourteen. Restrictions on the number of hours and restrictions on when a child may work during the day are also removed. It also repeals the requirement that a child ages fourteen or fifteen obtain a work certificate or work permit in order to be employed. Children under sixteen will also be allowed to work in any capacity in a motel, resort or hotel where sleeping accommodations are furnished. It also removes the authority of the director of the Division of Labor Standards to inspect employers who employ children and to require them to keep certain records for children they employ. It also repeals the presumption that the presence of a child in a workplace is evidence of employment.

    One of them contains more truth in one day's articles than Fox Repug Network does in a year.

    LOL...

    You lefties are really stretching to make Red States look bad. I suggest you read the bill before saying it's bad, else prove yourself a useless idiot of the leftist agenda.

    SENATE BILL NO. 222

    More insane propaganda and lies from the leftist media. that's all it is.

    Boutons...

    Don't you ever verify anything before posting it? I guess it's true if it comes from one of your favorite leftist sites, huh?

    No, read the bill. Someone summarized that part incorrectly:
    294.040. A child under sixteen shall not be employed or permitted to work by any person, firm, or corporation in connection with:

    (13) Any capacity in or about a motel, resort, hotel, where sleeping accommodations are furnished

    Good grief bouton's. Again, you didn't bother to read the bill, instead you parrot only what your tautological shill of an RSS feed tells you to think. Think for yourself for a change.

    The government has no right to say how many 10 year olds I can hire. That is pure government overreach.

    The worst part seems to be the gutting of the enforcement. Dunno if there is some alternate means of enforcing the law.

    I haven't read the bill yet.
    It also replaces the specific sections that were removed with new restrictions.

The director is vested with the power and jurisdiction to exercise such supervision over every employment as may be necessary to adequately enforce and administer the provisions of this chapter, including the right to enter any place where children are employed and to inspect the premises and to require the production of work certificates or work permits and another necessary do ents specifically requested that involve the employment of children.

    No, read the bill. Someone summarized that part incorrectly:
    Goober. If you actually read the .pdf file you posted a bit more closely, that was an exised section.

    The brackets (made larger and bolder) denote deleted sections.

    EXPLANATION--Matter enclosed in bold-faced brackets [thus] in this bill is not enacted and is
    intended to be omitted in the law.
    (13) [Any capacity in or about a motel, resort, hotel, where sleeping
    30 accommodations are furnished except in offices or locations physically separated
    31 from the sleeping accommodations;
    32 (14)]


    In plain english:
    Section 13 shall read (section within the brackets deleted, including the annotation "14" to renumber the statute's sections) (actual text of section 13 follows closing bracket, omitted from my excerpted section)

    Reading comprehension fail.

    Now that I got you to read the bill, please note the entire section refers to the entertainment industry, and therefore hotels/motels are not needed to be included in an assumption of cleaning rooms, etc. Some hotels offer entertainment. You know, like stage performances...

    WTF is up with all the verbage dedicated to the entertainment industry?

    Oh, Branson. NM....

    It allows child actors to work. The part that we just argued over is for ages under 16. What's the problem? I had my first real job at 15.

    And I had my first real job @ 13. But I was working for relatives so there was oversight.

    This bill removes oversight.

    No, just specific oversight related to children. There are still work law oversights in play I bet, or do employees over 18 not enjoy protection?
