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 of the hours a minor 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.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the work hour restrictions for minors under sixteen by clarifying permissible working hours. It specifies that minors may not work after seven p.m. unless they have parental approval, and it also updates the language regarding the maximum hours a minor can work during school days and weeks. The bill repeals existing sections 3331.02 and 4109.07, effectively replacing them with the newly amended provisions.
