AI Summary
This bill allows high school students between the ages of 15 and 19 to work in child care centers, either after school or during school hours if they are part of a work-based learning program, provided they have completed at least two courses in an education and training career cluster. This provision overrides existing child labor laws, specifically referencing § 50-5-105, which likely sets stricter age or hour limitations for minors. However, the bill explicitly prohibits these students from working in child care centers located within the primary caregiver's home. The relevant state department is authorized to create rules to implement this section, following standard administrative procedures.
