Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Stricter work-hour limits for teens

The law limits work for kids under 16 to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. This cap does not apply to movie performers or farm work. If you are 16 to 18, in a public or private high school, and not emancipated, you cannot work from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. on nights before a school day. Lifeguards, arcade workers, stage or movie performers, and farm jobs are exceptions. A school district, your high school’s governing body, or a juvenile court may grant an exemption if it is in your best interest.

Stronger child labor enforcement and information

Nevada treats breaking federal child-labor rules for kids under 16 as a state violation. Employers can be punished under state law for those violations. A child’s presence at a workplace during work hours counts as basic proof the child was working there, unless the employer shows otherwise. The Labor Commissioner must post a summary of child-employment rules online and include it in a QR code or other machine-readable barcode given to employers.
