❌ SB50
Regards age and schooling certificates, minor work hours
Summary
The bill amends sections 3331.02 and 4109.07 of the Revised Code to modify the requirements for age and schooling certificates and work hour regulations for minors under sixteen years of age. It specifies documentation needed for employment, limits work hours during school days, and establishes conditions under which minors may work. The bill also mandates the creation of a minor work hour notification form by the director of commerce.
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. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for free markets and parental rights in education and employment decisions, which are restricted by this bill.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over employment practices
- Potential negative impact on minors' ability to gain work experience
- Restrictions on parental rights regarding their children's employment
