**Prohibits child labor in tobacco farming.** This bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to treat any employee under 18 who has direct contact with tobacco plants or dried tobacco leaves as subject to the Act's oppressive child labor prohibition, and it would remove tobacco-related agriculture from the list of exempted activities so tobacco farming is covered like other industries.
