Florida Senate Decides Exploiting Child Labor Instead Of Migrants Not Good!
A bill from the governor's office that would have loosened child labor laws in Florida has died in the state Senate. Oh darn. Via Newsweek:
The proposal came as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, touted using teenagers as a replacement for the labor of migrants who are in the country illegally.
[...] The bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours.
