❌ HB546
Address minors working as performers in entertainment industry
Summary
HB546 amends various sections of the Ohio Revised Code to regulate the employment of minors as performers in the entertainment industry. It establishes requirements for age and schooling certificates, limits working hours for minors under sixteen, mandates parental supervision, and requires medical certification for minors not of compulsory school age. Additionally, it mandates that a trust account be established for minors' earnings if they exceed a specified amount.
Rationale
The bill imposes government regulations on the employment of minors, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention in personal and economic matters. It restricts the freedom of individuals and parents to make decisions regarding work and education for minors, which is contrary to the Libertarian emphasis on self-ownership and personal liberty.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over personal and economic decisions
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Restrictions on parental rights and individual freedoms
