On Monday, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed Senate Bill 436, a Republican bill that proposed eliminating the requirement for 14- and 15-year-olds to either receive a state permit or parental consent to work in the state.

The bill passed through the Wisconsin state Legislature on party lines and it is just one example of Republicans attempting to trim child labor regulations throughout the country in recent years.

“Asking more kids to work is not a serious plan or solution to address our statewide workforce issues,” Evers said.

The veto comes as President Joe Biden returned to Wisconsin on Monday to speak on student loan debt cancellation at the state capital of Madison. It marks his second appearance in the Badger state in less than a month.
