1An Act to create 103.70 (2) (d) of the statutes;
relating to: child labor permits.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Subject to certain exceptions, current law prohibits a minor from being
employed or permitted to work at any employment unless the minor's employer
obtains a written permit authorizing the employment of the minor. Such permits are
issued by the Department of Workforce Development or by certain other permit
officers designated by DWD.
This bill allows a minor to be employed without a child labor permit by a family
business, as defined in the bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
