• The SunThe governor had a stern take on the new bill
CHILDREN as young as 14 years old could be working overnight shifts under a new plan to roll back child labor laws.
The proposal seeks to remove limits on how late teens can be at work and the number of hours they can clock each week.
In Florida, 16- and 17-year-olds are currently prohibited from working before 6:30 am and after 11 pm on school days.
They are also barred from working more than 30 hours a week during the school year.
