Pennsylvania HB1726 amends child labor laws by exempting certain minors from work permit requirements and repealing work permit provisions.

HB1726 modifies Pennsylvania's child labor regulations by exempting individuals over 16 years old working in newspaper distribution, sale, or offering for sale from needing a work permit. It also exempts minors working independently from newspaper publishers. The bill repeals the work permit requirements for minors, replacing them with a parental authorization statement for minors under 16. Employers must verify the parental statement and maintain records of employment details. The changes take effect in 60 days.
