Here's a bill we're watching. We're excited about this change and we hope that it passes regardless of the scrutiny and pressure from media that the legislators are receiving.
SENATE: SB 1596
HOUSE: CS/CS/HB 49
Employment and Curfew of Minors:
(Abstract) Removing certain employment restrictions for minors 16 and 17 years of age; revising the age at which certain employment restrictions apply; authorizing the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to grant waivers of certain employment restrictions.
Our thoughts:
This would create opportunities for home education families, career opportunities, and is in PERFECT alignment with some of the fresh opportunities we explored last weekend at Discovery Day with AmSkills, Inc.
So, here's what we need:
If you have any children in the affected age or approaching it, please :
1. write your appropriate Senator/Representative and let them know this would positively impact you, how, and thank you.
2. Write us and let us know if you are able to come speak in the coming week as this bill is being heard (more to come on details, when/where/who)
3. Reply below with your story about how it can/would impact you and your family.
