The bill amends Sections 25-8-32.1 and 25-8-45 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to eliminate the requirement for an "eligibility to work form" for minors aged 14 and 15. Specifically, the language that previously mandated this form has been deleted, along with the entire Section 25-8-46, which pertained to the eligibility to work form. The amendments also include changes to terminology, replacing "person" with "individual" in various sections, and clarifying the responsibilities of employers regarding the employment of minors.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for parents or guardians of minors aged 14 to 15 to notify the minor's school administrator or instructor about the employment details, including the name, address, and telephone number of the employer. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process for employing minors while ensuring that schools are informed of their employment status.
