The bill amends sections 3331.02 and 4109.07 of the Revised Code to update the requirements for age and schooling certificates and work hour regulations for individuals under sixteen years of age. Notably, it introduces a new requirement for a minor work hour notification form, which must be signed by the child's parent or legal guardian, ensuring that parents are informed about the hours their child is permitted to work. Additionally, the bill mandates that the director of commerce create and make this form publicly available, including a space for parental acknowledgment of the information provided.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the work hour restrictions for minors under sixteen. It specifies that such individuals cannot work after 7 p.m. unless they have parental approval, and it clarifies the maximum hours they can work on school days and non-school days. The previous language regarding work hours has been adjusted to enhance clarity and ensure compliance with the new regulations. Overall, the bill aims to better protect minors in the workforce while ensuring that parents are actively involved in their children's employment conditions.
