Notice of Emergency Rule-Making and Public Hearing
The Arkansas Department of Labor has issued an emergency regulation amending Rule 2.402 of the Child Labor Regulations of the Labor Standards Division. This regulation relates to hours and rest time of children employed in the entertainment industry. The emergency regulation will be effective September 6, 2011, and will remain in effect for 120 days. The agency anticipates that it will be replaced by a permanent regulation addressing the same issues.
