Republican state Senator Jay Collins, the bill's sponsor, said the measure was about parental rights: "We should let them say what's best for their kids at 16- to 17-year-olds, that's what we're saying by this."

What complete and utter horseshit. It's already legal for them to work more as long as they have parental permission. This bill is about helping companies to normalize exploiting underpaid teenagers by removing the extra steps of actually giving the parent their say.
