AI Summary
This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exempt 16- and 17-year-old individuals employed in certain logging operations from child labor laws. Specifically, it exempts them from restrictions on "oppressive child labor" if they are employed by a parent or person standing in place of a parent in a logging operation owned or operated by that parent or person. The bill defines "logging operation" to include various mechanized activities related to harvesting, processing, and transporting timber, but excludes manual use of chainsaws and cable skidders.
