teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.

School perfectly fine place to catch up on sleep. But, what if parents feel sufficiently financially secure to favour education? How will DeSantis change that?
