Gov. Mike DeWine Vetoes Bill Allowing Younger Teens to Work Later

Gov. DeWine said current law balances work and study for teens; opponents warned the bill could weaken protections and undermine federal labor standards.

  • Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, vetoed Senate Bill 50, which would have allowed minors aged 14-15 to work until 9 p.m. on school nights.
  • Current Ohio law allows 14-15 year-olds to work until 7 p.m. on school nights, and DeWine believes this balances work experience with study time.
  • Business groups supported the bill to extend working hours, while opponents argued it could harm students' ability to learn, especially for low-income families.
