BREAKING: The Iowa Senate passed a child labor law before dawn today.
The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.
The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.

Now the bill moves to the Iowa House.
We recently investigated this bill, and uncovered that it began in the office of Gov. Kim Reynolds and was written by top corporate lobbyists led by the restaurant association.
