Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 2799 now includes two significant changes regarding the issuance of minor’s work permits in West Virginia. First, school superintendents will no longer require a physical examination to be part of the application, unless specifically asked for by the employer. Second, the requirement for superintendents to certify that the minor appeared in person before them to receive or modify a work permit has been removed. These changes make the process easier and less burdensome for both students seeking work and school administrators.
