The Wisconsin state Assembly has approved a bill eliminating work permit requirements for more teenagers. Former Republican Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill in 2017 that eliminated work permit requirements for 16- and 17-year-olds. The bill the Assembly approved Tuesday eliminates permit requirements for 14- and 15-year-olds. It doesn't change any state laws limiting hours minors can work. Supporters say the bill would help businesses hire much-needed workers faster. The Senate passed the measure in October. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers will likely veto the proposal, however. He nixed a bill in 2022 that would have allowed 14- and 15-year-olds to work longer summer hours.
