Proposed Work-Based Learning Program for High School Students in Child Care Centers
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would allow high school students who are older than 15 but younger than 19 years of age to work in child care centers outside of school hours or during school hours through a work-based learning program, provided they meet certain criteria. Previously, there were no provisions allowing such young individuals to work in these settings under this specific framework. This change would affect high school students seeking employment opportunities and the child care centers that might employ them. The effective date is not specified.
