Section 10

SEC. 10. Special work permits; rules and regulations.- The Secretary of Labor or his duly authorized representative shall have the power to grant a special permit for the employment of any child whose employment is otherwise prohibited in this Act, whenever in his judgment the economic necessity of the family to which such child belongs requires his assistance for increasing the family income. Such permit shall be issued under such conditions as will not prejudice the compulsory school attendance of any child under the rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Education under section 1 of this Act and as may be necessary for the protection of such child. The Secretary of Labor shall have power, after consultation with representatives of employers and employees or organizations thereof, to make, amend, or rescind such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act. Such rules and regulations, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may define terms used in this Act and may include terms and conditions to prevent the circumvention or evasion of the provisions of this Act. Such rules and regulations shall take effect thirty days after publication in newspapers of general circulation and by such other means as the Secretary of Labor deems reasonably calculated to give the public general notice of its issuance.
