The bill, which passed unanimously out of the House, faced scrutiny on the Senate floor from a handful of Republican legislators. Two senators criticized a provision that would increase the maximum penalty per child labor violation from $1,000 to $10,000.
Sen. Dennis Linthicum, R-Klamath Falls, said a fine in that amount would “crush most small businesses.”
If your small business sucks so bad that it depends on child labor and would STILL be crushed by a $10k fine, it does not deserve to be in business. Full stop.
Also, $10k is too low. Criminal charges need to start being brought.

$10K PER VIOLATION. Because you know a business like that isn’t doing it just once.
