When you look at the bill and the amendments they are trying to make, it truly is evil that someone wrote this on paper.

The amendments remove a lot of verbiage and instead of solidifying protections, puts them into a gray area.

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may ~~Shall not~~ be employed, permitted, or suffered to work the same number of hours as a
person who is 18 years of age or older.

18 year olds can work 72 hours in a week, how does a child go to school with that schedule?

Minors 15 years of age or younger may ~~shall not~~ be employed, permitted, or suffered to work in any gainful
occupation for more than 6 consecutive days in any one week.

No days off

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may ~~shall not~~ be employed, permitted, or suffered to work before 6:00 ~~6:30~~a.m. Or after 11:00 p.m. ~~or for more than 8 hours in any one day~~ when school is scheduled the following day.

These guys are insane if they think kids are going to be able to work overtime and go to school the next day.

they clearly don't want them to go to school. they think that schools have become communist indoctrination centers. going right back to mccarthyism: https://floridianpress.com/2024/02/a-stain-on-human-existence-anti-communism-classes-to-come-to-florida-schools/

if we were back to mccarthyism the overwhelming majority of the republican party would be in prison for being communist agents.

Cerfs are easier to tame when they’re illiterate and believe in the one true god, the king.

This comment is innacurate. The text does not change from "shall not" to "may", it changes from "shall not" to "may not", staying in the negative.

What is the difference between "shall not" and "may not" in this context?

Shall is without exception, may allows for exceptions
