Bill > SB50

This bill amends Ohio's laws regarding age and schooling certificates and work hours for minors under sixteen years old. The bill requires the superintendent of schools to collect additional documentation when issuing an age and schooling certificate, including a new minor work hour notification form signed by the child's parent or legal guardian. The form, which will be created by the Director of Commerce, will provide notice about the permissible work hours for minors. The bill also modifies work restrictions for minors under sixteen, specifically changing evening work time limits. For example, minors can now work between seven and nine p.m. with parental approval, whereas previously they were restricted from working after seven p.m. The bill adjusts the numbering of work hour restrictions and clarifies existing regulations about maximum hours worked during school and non-school periods. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions about rest periods, with employers required to provide a 30-minute rest period for minors working more than five consecutive hours. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for employing minors while ensuring their educational and health protections.
