To safeguard the rights of workers and protect children by responsibly increasing civil monetary penalties and other means.
HB6597, known as the LET’S Protect Workers Act, aims to enhance protections for workers and children by increasing civil monetary penalties and implementing additional measures. This bill was introduced on December 10, 2025, and has been referred to several committees for further review.
The legislation targets those who exploit workers and children, particularly in sectors prone to violations of labor laws and child labor protections. By increasing penalties, the bill seeks to deter such exploitation and ensure a safer working environment for all. This affects businesses and industries that employ workers and children, as well as regulatory bodies responsible for enforcement.
Currently, HB6597 is in the initial stages of the legislative process, having been introduced and referred to multiple committees for detailed examination. The bill's future progress will depend on the outcomes of these committee reviews and any subsequent actions taken in the House.
