BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – The Louisiana Home of Representatives has launched a controversial invoice that will remove required meal breaks for working kids.
HB156 eliminates the state requirement that minors take a 30-minute meal break in the event that they work for at the very least 5 hours.
The invoice was launched by state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs. He owns a number of Smoothie King franchises and says the breaks trigger plenty of issues for companies.
He mentioned youngsters wish to have the choice of taking a break or working extra.
Different lawmakers questioned what number of kids needed this invoice.
The invoice was accredited by 61 votes in favor and 37 towards and may now be thought of by the Senate.
