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. This form, previously mandated for these minors to secure employment, is entirely repealed under Section 2 of the bill, which also repeals Section 25-8-46 that specifically addressed this form. The amendments redefine certain terms, replacing "shall" with "may" in the context of definitions, and updating the terminology from "person" to "individual" throughout the sections to reflect a more modern language.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for employers to obtain a Class I Child Labor Certificate for employing minors aged 14 and 15, ensuring compliance with other child labor laws. It also introduces a new obligation for the parents or guardians of these minors to notify the school of the employment details, including the name and contact information of the employer. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
