This bill amends federal child labor law to strengthen enforcement and oversight of violations. It increases the statute of limitations for child labor violations from 30 days to 90 days, giving authorities more time to pursue cases. The bill requires the Secretary of Labor to submit a detailed annual report to Congress beginning one year after enactment, documenting child labor violations including the number of complaints received, investigations conducted, violations by industry, penalties assessed, and criminal charges filed. The report must also include data on affected child workers broken down by age and gender, as well as cases resulting in death or serious injury. These reporting requirements aim to provide Congress with comprehensive information about child labor violations and recommendations for improving enforcement efforts.
