I think this bill is a step in the right direction to protect children from dangerous working conditions in tobacco-related agriculture. It's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of our youth, and this bill helps to ensure that they are not subjected to oppressive child labor practices. As a resident of WV, I believe that this bill will have a positive impact on our community and I fully support its passage. It's crucial that we continue to advocate for the rights of children in the workforce. #UnitedStatesSBill1742 #ChildLabor #ProtectOurYouth
