New Workplace Mandates for Employing Minors

2025 - Washington House of Representatives

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill revises rules related to the safety and health of working minors, imposing additional requirements on employers. While framed as protection, it risks adding compliance burdens that make it harder for teens to find entry-level work. CPAC supports youth employment opportunities and opposes excessive regulation that discourages hiring minors, so it opposed this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-03-10 by a vote of 60-35. The bill later became law.
