Overview
This bill expands who can issue work permits to minors in California. Currently, school officials like principals and superintendents could issue permits. This bill now allows juvenile court county probation departments and county child welfare agencies to issue permits to certain minors under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court. It aims to provide employment opportunities for these youth while addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting their rehabilitation and independence.
