Bill Summary

Future Logging Careers Act This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to make the restrictions on oppressive child labor inapplicable to employment of an employee age 16 or 17 by a parent, or a person standing in place of a parent, in a logging or mechanized operation owned or operated by that parent or person.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exempt certain 16- and 17-year-old individuals employed in logging or mechanized logging operations by their parents or guardians from child labor laws. Specifically, it allows the employment of 16- or 17-year-olds in logging or mechanized logging operations, even if the Secretary of Labor determines those occupations to be particularly hazardous, as long as the young worker is employed by their parent or a person standing in place of their parent who owns or operates the logging business. The bill provides detailed definitions of "logging" and "mechanized operation" to clarify the scope of the exemption.
