Quote
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a law this week rolling back requirements that the state verify the ages of workers under 16 and provide them with work certificates permitting them to work.

Effectively, the new law signed by the Republican governor applies to those who are 14 and 15 years old because in most cases Arkansas businesses can't employ those under 14.

Under the Youth Hiring Act of 2023, children under 16 don't have to get the Division of Labor's permission to be employed. The state also no longer has to verify the age of those under 16 before they take a job. The law doesn't change the hours or kinds of jobs kids can work.

Republicans are such freaks.

This doesn't seem as bad as claimed by Ferguson, but it still isn't good.

Those adults in the back just sold their children to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The facial expressions of everybody in the picture gives it away.

It's still insane that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a governor.

Sounds like they are just making it less of a hassle to do things that are already legal.

Yup. It’s basically occupational license reform, and anyone who bothered reading more than the headline would support it.

Ignore the lies and sensationalist headlines. This is a rare Republican W here.

There’s a difference from children being allowed to work and those being forced to work.
