Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Stricter work-hour limits for minors

The law caps work for children under 16 at 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. That weekly cap does not apply to movie performers or farm work. If you are 16 to under 19, in high school, and not emancipated, you cannot work 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on nights before school. Jobs like lifeguard, arcade, stage or movie work, and farm work are exempt. A school district, the school’s governing body, or a juvenile court can grant an exception if it is in the child’s best interest.

Penalties for child-labor violations

Employers who break the child labor hour or curfew rules commit a misdemeanor. Each violation can bring up to a $1,000 fine, up to 6 months in county jail, or both. Civil penalties can also apply.

State enforcement and clearer child-labor info

The Labor Commissioner must post a short summary of Nevada’s child-labor rules online and include it as a QR code in wage-and-hour abstracts given to employers. Nevada also treats breaking federal child-labor rules for under-16s as a violation of state law, enforceable by the state.
