(including UNDER 16s), so...

Project 2025 Would Exploit Child Labor by Allowing Minors To Work in Dangerous Conditions With Fewer Protections

A bill has already been introduced a couple months ago - Republican Wants to Loosen Child Labor Laws

(snip)

Teenagers Earning Everyday Necessary Skills (TEENS) Act would change the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to adjust federal requirements for child labor laws. It would allow states to create laws allowing 14- and 15-year-olds to work until 9 p.m. year-round. Currently, federal law prohibits them from working past 7 p.m. during the school year.

The bill would also increase the number of hours they can work during the school week from 18 to 24.

(snip)

They have been going full bore since 2023 with this push.
