Effects of present law which this bill would alter
JUSTIFICATION: Summer employment is an important formative activity for youth as they make transitions between middle and high school and into employment or post-secondary education. The summer months provide an ideal time frame during which youth can earn money and experience the world of work without placing limitations on the time that can, and should, be spent preparing for and attending classes.
