Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...
