Iowa Gov. Reynolds signs controversial bills into law.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a new law that allows teenagers to work more hours a day and later at night, and work jobs that were previously prohibited under state law. However, the new law may face legal challenges as it appears to be inconsistent with federal law. The US Department of Labor has identified several concerns, including apparent contradictions between state and federal law over what hours kids can work. The DOL has not said whether they plan to challenge the Iowa law, but will continue to closely monitor the status of child labor laws in Iowa.
