When you look at the bill and the amendments they are trying to make, it truly is evil that someone wrote this on paper.
The amendments remove a lot of verbiage and instead of solidifying protections, puts them into a gray area.
Minors 16 and 17 years of age may
Shall notbe employed, permitted, or suffered to work the same number of hours as a
person who is 18 years of age or older.18 year olds can work 72 hours in a week, how does a child go to school with that schedule?
Minors 15 years of age or younger may
shall notbe employed, permitted, or suffered to work in any gainful
occupation for more than 6 consecutive days in any one week.No days off
Minors 16 and 17 years of age may
shall notbe employed, permitted, or suffered to work before 6:006:30a.m. Or after 11:00 p.m.or for more than 8 hours in any one daywhen school is scheduled the following day.These guys are insane if they think kids are going to be able to work overtime and go to school the next day.
This comment is innacurate. The text does not change from “shall not” to “may”, it changes from “shall not” to “may not”, staying in the negative.
What is the difference between “shall not” and “may not” in this context?
Shall is without exception, may allows for exceptions
