AN ACT concerning employment.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Child Labor Law is amended by changing |
Sections 8 and 11 as follows:
|
(820 ILCS 205/8) (from Ch. 48, par. 31.8)
|
Sec. 8. Authority to issue employment certificates. |
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the City or |
County
Superintendent of Schools, or their duly authorized |
agents, are authorized
to issue an employment certificate for |
any minor under sixteen (16) years
of age, said certificate |
authorizing and permitting the appearance of such
minor in a |
play or musical comedy with a professional traveling theatrical
|
production on the stage of a duly licensed theatre wherein not |
more than
two performances are given in any one day and not |
more than eight
performances are given in any one week, or nine |
when a holiday occurs
during the week, or in a musical recital |
or concert: Provided, that such
minor is accompanied by his |
parent or guardian or by a person in whose care
the parent or |
guardian has placed the minor and whose connection with the
|
performance or with the operation of the theatre in which the |
minor is to
appear is limited to the care of such minor or of |
minors appearing therein:
And provided further, that such minor |
|
shall not appear on said stage or in
a musical recital or |
concert, attend rehearsals, or be present in
connection with |
such appearance or rehearsals, in the theatre where the
play or |
musical comedy is produced or in the place where the concert or
|
recital is given, for more than a total of six (6) hours in any |
one day, or
on more than six (6) days in any one week, or for |
more than a total of
twenty-four (24) hours in any one week, or |
after the hour of 11
postmeridian; and provided further, no |
such minor shall be excused from
attending school except as |
authorized pursuant to Section 26-1 of the
School Code. |
Application for such certificate shall be made by the
manager |
of the theatre, or by the person in the district responsible |
for
the musical recital or concert, and by the parent or |
guardian of such minor
to the City or County Superintendent of |
Schools or his authorized agent at
least fourteen (14) days in |
advance of such appearance. The City or County
Superintendent |
of Schools or his agent may issue a permit if satisfied that
|
adequate provision has been made for the educational |
instruction of such
minor, for safeguarding his health and for |
the proper moral supervision of
such minor, and that proper |
rest and dressing room facilities are provided
in the theatre |
for such minor.
|
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the City or |
Regional
Superintendent of Schools, or their duly authorized |
agents, are authorized
to issue an employment certificate for |
any minor under 16 years of age,
such certificate authorizing |
|
and permitting the appearance of such minor as
a model or in a |
motion picture, radio or television production: Provided,
that |
no such minor shall be excused from attending school except as
|
authorized pursuant to Section 26-1 of The School Code. The |
Department of
Labor shall promulgate rules and regulations to |
carry out the provisions of
this subsection. Such rules and |
regulations shall be designed to protect
the health and welfare |
of child models or actors and to insure that the
conditions |
under which minors are employed, used or exhibited will not
|
impair their health, welfare, development or proper education.
|
(c) In situations where a minor from another state seeks to |
obtain an Illinois employment certificate, the Department |
shall work with a City or Regional Superintendent of Schools, |
or the State Superintendent of Education, or his or her duly |
authorized agents, to issue the certificate. The |
Superintendent may waive the requirement in Section 12 of this |
Act that a minor submit his or her application in person, if |
the minor resides in another state. |

|
Sec. 11. Employment certificate issuance; duration; |
revocation. |
(a) The employment certificate shall be issued by the City |
or County
Superintendent of Schools or by their duly authorized |
agents and shall be
valid for a period of one year. The person
|
|
issuing these certificates shall have authority to administer |
the oaths
provided for herein, but no fee shall be charged. It |
shall be the duty of
the school board or local school |
authority, to designate a place or places
where certificates |
shall be issued and recorded, and physical examinations
made |
without fee, as hereinafter provided, and to establish and |
maintain
the necessary records and clerical services for |
carrying out the provisions
of this Act.
|
The issuing officer shall notify the principal of the |
school attended by
the minor for whom an employment certificate |
for out of school work is
issued by him.
|
The parent or legal guardian of a minor, or the principal |
of the school
attended by the minor for whom an employment
|
certificate has been issued may ask for the revocation of the |
certificate
by petition to the Department of Labor in writing, |
stating the reasons he
believes that the employment is |
interfering with the best physical,
intellectual or moral |
development of the minor. The Department of Labor
shall |
thereupon revoke the employment certificate by notice in |
writing to
the employer of the minor.
|
(b) In situations where a minor from another state seeks to |
obtain an Illinois employment certificate, the Department |
shall work with a City or Regional Superintendent of Schools, |
or the State Superintendent of Education, or his or her duly |
authorized agents, to issue the certificate. The |
Superintendent may waive the requirement in Section 12 of this |
