A ?miscellaneous? provision in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) signed by President Bush on May 21, 2008, amends the penalty provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as they relate to child labor violations. The most significant revision is the imposition of a civil penalty of up to $50,000 for each child labor violation that causes the death or serious injury of any employee under 18 years of age. This penalty may be doubled where the violation is a repeated or willful violation.
