The TEENS Act would amend federal labor law to allow 14- and 16-year-old workers to work up to 24 hours per week during school sessions, compared to current restrictions. The bill would require that teen workers start no earlier than 7 a.m. and end no later than 9 p.m. in their local time zone. This legislation would affect teenage workers and employers in industries that employ young people, particularly retail and food service. The bill contains no specific funding mechanisms or implementation timelines beyond the changes to permissible working hours. The legislation aims to give teenagers more opportunities to earn income while still attending school, though it represents a significant expansion of current child labor hour restrictions.
