TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to permitting
a minor over twelve years of age to work as a referee for athletic games
or competitions under certain circumstances
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
An act to amend Subdivision 2 of § 130 of the labor law to allow a minor
over twelve years of age, after completing proper training, to act as a
referee at athletic games, competitions and tournaments involving
competitors who are eleven years of age or younger.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill would amend § 130 the Labor Law, which prohibits employment of
minors under the age of fourteen years, to include an additional excep-
tion. Currently, there are exceptions for minors under the age of four-
teen that permit them to be employed under certain circumstances. This
bill would add the following exception: A minor over twelve years of age
who acts as a referee at an athletic game, competition or tournament,
involving competitors who are twelve years of age or younger, hosted by
an athletic association or organization that has trained and tested such
minor in accordance with established safety standards, for a duration of
twenty hours or less per week and during times when school is not in
session with the written consent of a parent or guardian.
