The Florida state legislature is considering a bill to lift restrictions on teenagers’ ability to work.

SB 918, introduced by Republican state Sen. Jay Collins, would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work without penalty. Fourteen and 15-year-olds would be permitted to work if they were homeschooled or graduated from high school. The legislation would additionally allow teenagers 14 years and older to work earlier than 6:30 a.m. or later than 11 p.m., enabling them to work overnight shifts.
