Dossier Legislative introduced 30-oct-2023
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

CHILD Labor Act

Key claim: The bill would update federal labor standards to combat illegal child labor and increase penalties for violations.

Abstract

(S3163 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2023-10-30): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Why this matters

The proposal would change federal standards intended to protect young workers and increase employers’ potential penalties for child labor violations. It remains at the Senate introduction and committee-referral stage, so the finding establishes a legislative proposal rather than a change in current law.
