There is much current child labor law activity, none of it reflecting concern with occupational health hazards. The focus of the legislation is on time for and dedication to education as youth's foremost priority. The only areas of state legislative change that could affect children's health and safety in the workplace are a general movement toward monetarily increasing fines and penalties and some minor inclusions of agricultural restrictions on young workers. Enforcement efforts are in all cases a primary indication of state commitment to child labor law protections, and these efforts are decreasing.
当前有许多关于童工法的活动，但没有一项反映出对职业健康危害的关注。立法的重点是将时间用于教育并致力于教育，将其作为青少年的首要任务。州立法变化中唯一可能影响儿童在工作场所健康和安全的领域，是普遍朝着在经济上增加罚款和处罚的方向发展，以及对年轻工人的农业限制有一些小的纳入。在所有情况下，执法力度都是国家对童工法保护承诺的主要指标，而这些力度正在下降。
