The bill, which passed unanimously out of the House, faced scrutiny on the Senate floor from a handful of Republican legislators. Two senators criticized a provision that would increase the maximum penalty per child labor violation from $1,000 to $10,000.

This is whs you never vote Republican
to ensure kids grow up to have a world of business and hard work ready at their fingertips.
