Maine employers now have an expanded workforce available for certain jobs with changes in the state law allowing younger teens to work in more occupations.

Maine law has been amended to allow 14 and 15 year olds to work in:

  • movie theaters
  • bowling alleys
  • permanent amusement parks
  • and in certain places in bakeries and hotels.

The new legislation also brings some provisions into compliance with Federal law related protecting minors from hazardous conditions and modernizes the work permit process for minors. Restrictions in employment related to legalized marijuana are also included in this new law.
