The governor’s office called the work permit process “an arbitrary burden,” but the federal solicitor of labor said children shouldn’t be allowed to work dangerous jobs, “full stop.”
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivers the Republican response to the State of the Union on Feb. 7, 2023, in Little Rock.
Under the new law, children under 16 no longer have to get permission from the state’s Division of Labor to get a job, nor will they need to have their age verified or submit things like their work schedule for a permit. In addition to no longer needing to get a work certificate, children won’t need their parents’ consent.
“All child labor laws that actually protect children still apply and we expect businesses to comply just as they are required to do now,” Henning added.
