Iowa House To Debate Changes To Child Labor Law, In-Person Caucusing

(Des Moines) The Iowa House set to debate nearly 30 bills today, including one proposal that lets 16 and 17-year-olds work eight-hour days, kids under 16 work up to six hours a day and lets young people do jobs that they’re currently barred from. Another bill would require Iowans to be physically present to be a part of the state’s caucuses and be registered to a party for at least 70 days before the event to participate. The proposal would block the Iowa Democratic Party’s plan to hold mail-in caucuses in 2024 as the party tries to stay first in the nation.
