Summary
The bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to broaden the definition of oppressive child labor, including barring employment of workers under 18 in manufacturing, mining, trenching or excavation, meat processing, demolition, and explosives, and directs the Secretary of Labor to issue hazardous-occupation regulations that are reviewed at least every five years. It also extends liability for child labor into supply chains by restricting goods made with oppressive child labor by contractors and subcontractors, makes successors in interest jointly liable, authorizes stop work orders and "Unlawfully manufactured; child labor" tags, and increases the hot goods holding period from 30 to 180 days. Based on the text provided (truncated), the bill's remaining sections, including provisions on federal contractors and reporting on work-related injuries, were not fully reviewed.
