Bill > AB166

This bill revises Nevada law regarding employment restrictions for minors under 18 years old. Currently, the law prohibited children under 16 from working more than 48 hours per week, but this bill expands those restrictions to apply to all minors under 18 and reduces the maximum work hours from 48 to 40 per week. For school-enrolled children, the bill introduces additional limitations on work hours, prohibiting them from working before 5 a.m. on school days or after 10 p.m. on days immediately preceding school days. The bill maintains existing exceptions for child performers in motion pictures and children working on farms. The legislation defines a "pupil" as a child enrolled in a public or private school for the current academic year, ensuring clear application of the work hour restrictions. These changes aim to protect young workers by limiting their work hours and preventing interference with their education, recognizing the potential challenges of balancing school and work responsibilities for minors.
