to issue an employment certificate for | 11 | | any minor under sixteen (16) years
of age, said certificate | 12 | | authorizing and permitting the appearance of such

|
| 1 | | shall not appear on said stage or in
a musical recital or | 2 | | concert, attend rehearsals, or be present in
connection with | 3 | | such appearance or rehearsals, in the theatre where the
play or | 4 | | musical comedy is produced or in the place where the concert or
| 5 | | recital is given, for more than a total of six (6) hours in any | 6 | | one day, or
on more than six (6) days in any one week, or for | 7 | | more than a total of

attending school except as | 10 | | authorized pursuant to Section 26-1 of the
School Code. | 11 | | Application for such certificate shall be made by the
manager | 12 | | of the theatre, or by the person in the district responsible | 13 | | for
the musical recital or concert, and by the parent or | 14 | | guardian of such minor
to the City or County Superintendent of | 15 | | Schools or his authorized agent at
least fourteen (14) days in | 16 | | advance of such appearance. The City or County
Superintendent | 17 | | of Schools or his agent may issue a permit if satisfied that
| 18 | | adequate provision has been made for the educational | 19 | | instruction of such
minor, for safeguarding his health and for | 20 | | the proper moral supervision of
such minor, and that proper | 21 | | rest and dressing room facilities are provided
in the theatre | 22 | | for such minor.
| 23 | | (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the City or | 24 | | Regional
Superintendent of Schools, or their duly authorized | 25 | | agents, are authorized
to issue an employment certificate for | 26 | | any minor under 16 years of age,
such certificate authorizing |

|
| 1 | | and permitting the appearance of such minor as
a model or in a | 2 | | motion picture, radio or television production: Provided,
that | 3 | | no such minor shall be excused from attending school except as
| 4 | | authorized pursuant to Section 26-1 of The School Code. The | 5 | | Department of
Labor shall promulgate rules and regulations to | 6 | | carry out the provisions of
this subsection. Such rules and | 7 | | regulations shall be designed to protect
the health and welfare | 8 | | of child models or actors and to insure that the
conditions | 9 | | under which minors are employed, used or exhibited will not
| 10 | | impair their health, welfare, development or proper education.
| 11 | | (c) In situations where a minor from another state seeks to | 12 | | obtain an Illinois employment certificate, the Department | 13 | | shall work with a City or Regional Superintendent of Schools, | 14 | | or the State Superintendent of Education, or his or her duly | 15 | | authorized agents, to issue the certificate. The | 16 | | Superintendent may waive the requirement in Section 12 of this | 17 | | Act that a minor submit his or her application in person, if | 18 | | the minor resides in another state. | 19 | | (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a | 20 | | parent of a home-schooled student under the age of 16 shall be | 21 | | authorized to issue an employment certificate for his or her | 22 | | child for any occupation except those occupations enumerated in | 23 | | Section 7. | 24 | | (Source: P.A. 96-1247, eff. 7-23-10.)
