I thought Republicans supported allowing kids to make money. Look at Arkansas. Why shouldn’t kids in CA be allowed that option?
Agreed. Why can’t California follow the example of the following red states that allow children as young as 12 (or younger with parental consent) to work on farms with few restrictions?
**Iowa**, **Florida**, **Arkansas**, **Missouri**, and **Georgia** have the most permissive child labor laws for agricultural workers. These states allow children as young as 12 (or younger with parental consent) to work on farms with minimal hour restrictions and fewer protections against hazardous tasks, aligning closely with lenient federal FLSA standards. Recent laws (2022-2025) in these states have further relaxed oversight, such as removing work permit requirements or expanding allowable tasks.
