Iowa Senate passed a child labor law.
The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.
The Senate worked through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m. The bill now moves to the Iowa House.
We recently investigated this legislation and uncovered that it began in the office of Gov. Kim Reynolds and was written by top corporate lobbyists led by the restaurant association.
