Bill Summary

Employment prohibition exceptions; apprenticeships; children 16 years of age or older. Permits a child 16 years of age or older to serve in an apprenticeship program or other work-based learning experience related to culinary arts or information technology, provided that (i) the child is continuously enrolled in an accredited secondary school, (ii) the child is a registered apprentice, (iii) the child is employed in a work-training program administered under the Board of Education, and (iv) the work being performed is not in violation of federal or state laws. The bill requires that a child 16 years of age or older serving in a licensed barbershop or cosmetology salon, as permitted under current law, also meets the same requirements.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Virginia law to create exceptions to employment prohibitions for children aged 16 and older, allowing them to participate in apprenticeship programs or other work-based learning experiences specifically in culinary arts or information technology. To qualify, these young individuals must be continuously enrolled in an accredited secondary school, be registered apprentices, be employed in a work-training program overseen by the Board of Education, and ensure their work does not violate any federal or state laws. The bill also clarifies that 16-year-olds working in licensed barbershops or cosmetology salons, as already permitted, must meet these same new requirements.
