WASHINGTON D.C. (trfnews.i234.me) Several states are easing child labor laws.
Lawmakers in several US states have proposed changes to child labor laws, with some suggesting that children should be allowed to work longer hours in hazardous occupations to address labor shortages. Proposals have also been made to reduce the paperwork required for children to work. Advocates against child exploitation have expressed concern about such changes, particularly those that would allow children to work late on school nights and serve alcohol in restaurants. Recent investigations by federal authorities have found child workers exposed to dangerous conditions in industries such as meat packing plants and automotive factories, which have struggled to find adult workers. At least 10 states have been found to have surging violations of child labor laws. While some lawmakers argue that parents have the right to let their children work, the proposed changes have raised concerns about the safety and well-being of child workers.

Does that mean ND considered something like this too or did we already passed one?
Simply a bad idea for so many reasons!
