The CARE Act of 2025 aims to strengthen protections for children working in agriculture by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This legislation addresses the significant health and safety risks faced by child laborers in the agricultural sector, particularly focusing on preventing their exposure to hazardous working conditions. The Act introduces stricter definitions of "oppressive child labor," prohibiting children under 14 from working in most agricultural jobs and establishing higher safety standards for those aged 14 to 17.
