A restriction that limited the industries in which 14- and 15-year-olds were permitted to work has been lifted, as a result. Instead of only being allowed to work in retail, food service and gasoline service stations, teen workers may work in other environments, including state and local governments, banks, insurance companies, advertising agencies and technology firms.
Other changes include new prohibitions on youth peddling and other activities, higher penalties for child labor violations that result in serious injury or death, and the establishment of a work-study program.
