     To provide for a change in the exemption from the child labor 
 provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 for minors between 
 16 and 18 years of age who engage in the operation of automobiles and 
                                trucks.
    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR MINORS TO OPERATE MOTOR VEHICLES.

    In the administration of the child labor provisions of the Fair 
Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Secretary of Labor shall issue a final 
rule no later than one year from enactment of this Act to amend the 
exemption (29 C.F.R. 570.52(b)(1)) from the child labor restrictions of 
such Act for minors between 16 and 18 years of age who operate 
automobiles or trucks not exceeding 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight 
to eliminate the requirement that such operation be only occasional and 
incidental to the minor's employment and to add the requirement that 
such operation not be the primary duty of the minor's employment.
