Labor Law - Child Labor Penalties, Private Sector Employee Labor Relations, and State Employee Labor Standards

Summary

The legislation raises civil fines for employers who break Maryland’s child‑labor rules and makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly employ minors illegally. It also prevents private‑sector employers from setting up labor organizations that are exempt from the National Labor Relations Act, and lets private employees bring certain disputes before the Public Employee Relations Board. Finally, it bars state executive agencies from seeking a federal Fair Labor Standards Act waiver.
