Khaleda Rahman at Newsweek reports a Bill that would have loosened Child Labor Laws in Florida has died in the State Senate. The proposal came as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, touted using teenagers as a replacement for the labor of Migrants who are in the country illegally. President Donald Trump has pledged to deport millions of people in the U.S. with no legal status, while critics say deportations on such a scale could lead to labor shortages. The Bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours. Now that the Bill is effectively dead, it remains to be seen whether Lawmakers will pursue it in a future session.
