MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Jeniffer Viscarra, Commissioner
DATE: April 17, 2025
RE: Expressing Opposition Florida Senate Bill 918 and Florida House Bill 1225
Regarding Child Labor Laws
RECOMMENDATION:
Presented for consideration.
REASONS:
Senate Bill 918 and House Bill 1225 propose changes to Florida's child labor laws that weaken
protections for working minors by lowering the effective employment age to 13, eliminating limits on
work hours for 16- and 17-year-olds, and removing requirements for meal breaks after extended shifts.
These changes jeopardize the academic performance, health, and safety of young workers, increasing
their risk of exploitation and workplace injury. The bills are contrary to national child labor standards
and public safety recommendations, and their passage would mark a step backward in protecting
Florida's youth.
