Wasnt the GoP in some states pushing for new laws allowing minors to work in dangerous jobs while also exempting employers from responsibility in case of accidents? Iowa was close to doing so, but ultimately stripped that provision from the bill before it passed. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2023/02/06/key-points-of-bill-to-change-iowa-child-labor-law/69870761007/ Republicans amended the bill so that it no longer exempts businesses from civil liability if a student is sickened, injured or killed due to either the student or the company's negligence. The bill allows students who are hurt or injured to claim benefits under the state's workers compensation program, which also allows benefits for parents whose child dies in a work-related accident. A business still would be free of civil liability if a student is injured traveling to or from work, but the amended bill says a business would be liable if a teen is hurt while driving for work. A company could face fines of up to $10,000 for violations under the bill, but the state's labor commissioner could reduce or waive the penalty. <cite>darkace77450 posted [p:979127131] in 15 yr old ...
