AI Summary

This bill repeals and amends existing Idaho law to remove provisions regarding child labor. It removes restrictions on the employment of children under 14 years old, educational requirements for children under 16, working hour limits for children under 16, and penalties related to child labor violations. The bill also makes technical corrections and redesignations to various sections of the Idaho Code related to the employment of minors. The intent is to remove outdated and superseded child labor laws, as many aspects are now covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The bill also acknowledges that Idaho has a growing number of students educated outside the public school system, so the current references to public school hours are unnecessary and unfair to non-public school children.
