AI Generated Summary
This bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature reaffirming its ratification of the Child Labor Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The resolution highlights the historical context of child labor in the U.S., the Supreme Court ruling in Hammer v. Dagenhart (1918) that limited Congress's ability to regulate child labor, and the subsequent proposal of the Child Labor Amendment in 1924, which Minnesota ratified in 1933. The resolution notes that no state has ratified the amendment since 1937, and while United States v. Darby Lumber Co. (1941) overturned Hammer v. Dagenhart, there has been renewed interest in ratifying the amendment in recent years. The resolution formally reaffirms Minnesota's support for the amendment and directs the Secretary of State to transmit copies of the resolution to key federal officials, including the President, Congress, and Minnesota's federal representatives.
