House Bill 2439: Increases Child Labor Restrictions

Representative Hamilton

Summary:
Oklahoma law currently provides regulations on employment for those under 16 years of age. Regulations include a maximum of three hours of employment in a school day and a maximum of 18 hours of work per week when school is in session.
