Plain-English Summary

The proposal would increase penalties and enforcement actions against companies that violate child labor laws, making it harder for businesses to employ minors illegally or in dangerous conditions. It would affect employers across industries, workers who investigate labor violations, and families whose children might be at risk of exploitation. The bill aims to strengthen existing protections by giving government agencies stronger tools to crack down on child labor violations.
