Bill aiming to loosen work limits for N.H. teenagers heads to Sununu's desk [View all]
New Hampshire’s 16- and 17-year-olds will have fewer restrictions on their weekly working limits if the governor signs a bill passed by the Legislature on Wednesday.
Senate Bill 318 raises hourly working caps for the age group during the school week.
Currently, 16- and 17-year-olds are limited to 30 hours a week and no more than six consecutive work days anytime school is in session.
The new bill would introduce a stratified system depending on how many days of school are in a particular week. For five-day school weeks, the limit would remain at 30 hours, but four-day weeks would allow for up to 40¼ hours of work and two- or three-day weeks would allow for up to 48 hours.
