The bill amends Sections 25-8-32.1 and 25-8-45 of the Code of Alabama 1975, primarily by eliminating the requirement for an "eligibility to work form" for minors aged 14 and 15. This form, which was previously necessary for these minors to be employed, is completely repealed under Section 2 of the bill. The amendments also update the language throughout the sections, replacing terms like "person" with "individual" and making other minor adjustments for clarity.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for parents or guardians of minors aged 14 or 15 who are employed to notify the minor's school administrator or instructor about the employment details. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2024, following its passage in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
