Date moved up for certain teen employment at amusement parks

Those age 16 and 17 may now assist in the operation of amusement park rides, and load and unload passengers, thanks to a new law that makes the change retroactive to May 28, 2020.

The law already permits the operation of lawn care equipment by youth at least 16 years old, starting May 28, 2020.

Sponsored by Sen. Carrie Ruud (R-Breezy Point) and Rep. Brad Tabke (DFL-Shakopee), the new law makes the date of implementation the same for all changes.
