The bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature reaffirming its ratification of the Child Labor Amendment to the United States Constitution. The resolution highlights the historical context of child labor in the U.S., referencing the Supreme Court's 1918 decision in Hammer v. Dagenhart, which limited Congress's authority to regulate child labor. It notes that the Child Labor Amendment, passed by Congress in 1924 and ratified by Minnesota in 1933, grants Congress the power to regulate the labor of individuals under eighteen years of age. The resolution also acknowledges the lack of state ratifications since 1937 and the subsequent Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Darby Lumber Co. that upheld Congress's authority over child labor.

Furthermore, the resolution points to a resurgence of interest in the Child Labor Amendment since 2018, with actions taken by other states, including Hawaii. It concludes by directing the Secretary of State of Minnesota to prepare and send copies of the memorial to various federal officials, including the President and members of Congress. This reaffirmation serves to underscore Minnesota's commitment to the principles of the Child Labor Amendment amidst ongoing discussions about child labor laws in the United States.
