This bill amends the Child Labor Act of October 24, 2012, specifically addressing the employment of minors in establishments where alcoholic beverages are produced, sold, or dispensed. The amendment introduces a new provision that allows minors aged 15 years or older to be employed by nonprofit organizations operating in certain cities and counties. These organizations must provide educational programming aimed at equipping criminal-justice-system-involved juveniles and young adults with culinary and life skills. The employment is limited to tasks such as serving food and clearing tables, explicitly prohibiting minors from dispensing or serving alcoholic beverages.

The new legal language inserted into the act specifies the conditions under which minors may work in these establishments, ensuring that their roles are focused on non-alcohol-related duties while still allowing them to gain valuable work experience. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
