Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to the civil penalties for violations of child labor laws
AI Summary
This bill increases the civil penalties for employers who violate child labor laws in New York State by raising the monetary fines for different levels of violations. Specifically, the bill increases the first-time violation penalty from $1,000 to $3,000, the second violation penalty from $2,000 to a range of $3,000-$5,000, and the third or subsequent violation penalty from $3,000 to a range of $5,000-$10,000. The bill also adds language requiring the commissioner to consider the employer's good faith belief that they were complying with the law when assessing penalties. A significant provision stipulates that if a violation results in a minor being seriously injured or killed (defined as causing permanent partial or permanent total disability as determined by the workers' compensation board), the penalty will be tripled. The bill aims to create stronger financial deterrents for employers who violate child labor regulations and to provide more nuanced consideration of circumstances surrounding violations.
