An Act amending the the act of October 24, 2012 (P.L.1209, No.151), known as the Child Labor Act, further providing for minors serving in volunteer emergency service organizations.

Summary

The bill amends Pennsylvania’s Child Labor Act to let minors who are 14 or 15 years old participate in certain volunteer fire‑company training and firefighting activities until 10 p.m. on evenings before a school day. The permission applies only if the youth is a member of a volunteer fire company and has written consent from a parent or legal guardian. The change is intended to expand emergency‑service opportunities for young volunteers while keeping parental oversight.
