TITLE OF BILL:

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY ratifying the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the labor
of persons under eighteen years of age

 
PURPOSE:

Relates to ratifying the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the
United States relating to the labor of persons under eighteen years of
age.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Ratifying an amendment to the federal constitution in relations to
having the power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons
under eighteen years of age.

JUSTIFICATION:

The Child Labor Amendment was submitted to the states by Congress in
1924 for ratification as a part of the federal Constitution and has now
been pending ever since. Currently, 28 states have ratified this amend-
ment and 15 states have rejected and did not subsequently ratify it. New
York is one of five states that have no record of taking any action on
this amendment. While the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 went on to
cover the issues in the Child Labor Amendment, ratification of the
amendment will put New York on the right side of history.

   Section 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this arti-
 cle  except  that  the operation of State laws shall be suspended to the
 extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress.
   Now, therefore, be it

 ratify  the  above recited proposed amendment to the Constitution of the
 United States; and be it further,
   RESOLVED, That the Secretary of  State  be  requested  to  transmit  a
