Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (820 ILCS 205/8.1) (from Ch. 48, par. 31.8-1)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2025)
    Sec. 8.1.

    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, an employer who employs a minor under 16 years of age in a television, motion picture, or related entertainment production may allow the minor to work until 10 p.m. without seeking a waiver from the Department of Labor. An employer may apply to the Director of Labor, or his or her authorized representative, for a waiver permitting a minor to work outside of the hours allowed by this Act.
        (1) A waiver request for a minor to work between 10
    
p.m. and 12:30 a.m. or between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. shall be granted if the Director, or his or her authorized representative, is satisfied that all of the following conditions are met:
            (A) the employment will not be detrimental to the
        
health or welfare of the minor;
            (B) the minor will be supervised adequately;
            (C) the education of the minor will not be
        
neglected; and
            (D) the total number of hours to be worked that
        
day and week is not over the limits established in this Act or any rules adopted under this Act.
        (2) A waiver request for a minor to work between
    
12:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. may be granted if the Director, or his or her authorized representative, is satisfied that all of the following conditions are met:
            (A) the employment will not be detrimental to the
        
health or welfare of the minor;
            (B) the minor will be supervised adequately;
            (C) the education of the minor will not be
        
neglected;
            (D) performance by the minor during that time is
        
critical to the success of the production, as demonstrated by true and accurate statements by the employer that filming cannot be completed at any other time of day;
            (E) the filming primarily requires exterior
        
footage of sunset, nighttime, or dawn;
            (F) the filming is scheduled on the most optimal
        
day of the week for the minor's schooling;
            (G) the employer provides a schedule to the
        
Department of schooling and rest periods on the day before, the day of, and the day after the overnight hours to be worked;
            (H) the age of the minor is taken into account as
        
provided by this Act or any rules adopted under this Act;
            (I) the total number of hours to be worked that
        
day and week is not over the limits established in this Act or any rules adopted under this Act; and
            (J) the waiver request was received by the
        
Department at least 72 hours prior to the overnight hours to be worked.
    (c) An employer applying for the waiver shall submit to the Director of Labor, or his or her authorized representative, a completed application on the form that the Director of Labor provides. The waiver shall contain signatures that show the consent of a parent or legal guardian of the minor, the employer, and an authorized representative of a collective bargaining unit if a collective bargaining unit represents the minor upon employment. The Department of Labor shall promulgate and publish all necessary rules for the enforcement of this Section, in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, within 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1994.
