to
2amend 103.67 (2) (c) and 103.71 (2) (b) (intro.); and

3103.71 (2) (a) 2. of the statutes;
relating to: employment of minors 11 years of
4age in the sale or distribution of newspapers.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a minor may be employed in a street trade such as the sale
or distribution of newspapers or magazines only if he or she is at least 12 years of age,
except that a minor under 12 years of age may work in fund-raising sales for a
nonprofit organization, a public school or a private school. To be employed in a street
trade, a minor must obtain an identification card and the minor's employer must
obtain a permit from the department of industry, labor and job development (DILJD)
or from a local permit officer designated by DILJD. A minor may be employed only
during certain hours designated by DILJD so that the minor's employment does not
interfere with school attendance.
This bill permits a minor who is at least 11 years of age to be employed in the
sale or distribution of newspapers if the usual permit procedure is followed. Work
in street trades other than newspaper sales or distribution and fund-raising sales
remains limited to those minors who are at least 12 years of age.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
