> Last Friday, this concerted attack on child labor safeguards further expanded. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed an expansive bill enacting numerous changes to the state’s child labor laws, including:
> allowing employers to hire teens as young as 14 for previously prohibited hazardous jobs in industrial laundries or as young as 15 in light assembly work;
> allowing state agencies to waive restrictions on hazardous work for 16–17-year-olds in a long list of dangerous occupations, including demolition, roofing, excavation, and power-driven machine operation;
> extending hours to allow teens as young as 14 to work six-hour nightly shifts during the school year;
> allowing restaurants to have teens as young as 16 serve alcohol; and
> limiting state agencies’ ability to impose penalties for future employer violations.
