AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage teen employment by exempting workers under the age of 18 from the state's minimum wage law. The bill proposes that a wage lower than 80% of the minimum wage in any occupation shall be presumed to be reasonable, unless the state labor commissioner expressly approves a lower wage under certain provisions. This change is intended to make it more financially feasible for employers to hire teenage workers.
