Bill > HB2327

This bill amends the Child Labor Law of 2024 to create a specific exemption for minors aged 14 and older working as scorers at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex during two specific shooting competitions: the U.S. Open and the Grand American World Trapshooting Championships. The exemption applies only if the minor is positioned at least 15 feet behind the firing line of the trap shooters participating in these competitions. This narrow exception allows young workers to be involved in a specific, controlled environment at a shooting event, despite the general prohibition on minors working at firearm ranges or gun ranges. The bill modifies existing child labor restrictions that previously banned minors from working at any firearm range or gun range, providing a targeted allowance for this particular scoring role during these specific shooting championships, with a safety requirement to keep the minor at a safe distance from active shooters.
