A bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to permit certain youth to perform certain work with wood products.

This bill would amend federal labor laws to allow teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 to work in woodworking facilities, provided they are legally exempt from attending school beyond the eighth grade. To ensure safety, these youth would be prohibited from operating power-driven machinery and would be required to work under the supervision of an adult relative or a member of their religious community. The legislation also mandates specific safety measures, such as the use of protective gear and physical barriers, to shield these young workers from noise, sawdust, and flying debris.
