Pennsylvania HB1543 amends child labor laws to allow minors to work in certain nonprofit settings serving alcohol.

Pennsylvania HB1543 amends the Child Labor Act to allow minors aged 15 and older to work in nonprofit organizations providing educational programming for criminal-justice-system-involved juveniles and young adults. These organizations must be located in a city or county of the second class and serve alcoholic beverages. The minors can perform duties such as serving food and clearing tables, but they cannot dispense or serve alcohol. This change aims to provide these young adults with culinary and life skills training in a controlled environment.
