This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations. This analysis is not a part of the legislation nor does it constitute a statement of legislative intent.

C 156 L 13

Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description: Allowing a person to apply for a work permit for the employment of minors without completing a new master application under certain circumstances.

Sponsors: Senators Honeyford, Keiser, Shin and Hewitt.

Senate Committee on Commerce & Labor

House Committee on Labor & Workforce Development

Background: An employer seeking to hire a minor must obtain a minor work permit endorsement through the employer's master business license application. The master business license application is a form used to apply for various state licenses, registrations, and permits, and an employer seeking to hire minors must complete all sections of the application. The processing fee for a business license application is $15.

Summary: An employer seeking a minor work permit endorsement is not required to complete an entirely new business license application. The employer need only complete those parts of the application that identify the employer and indicate the employer's plans to hire one or more minors, the duties of the minors, and the estimated number of hours to be worked by minors.
