It shall be the duty of the Department of Workplace Standards and of the
inspectors and agents of said department, with the assistance of the school
directors of pupil personnel, police officers and juvenile session of District Court
probation officers, to enforce the provisions of KRS 339.210 to 339.450, to
make complaints against persons violating the provisions of those sections,
and to prosecute violations thereof. The Department of Workplace Standards,
its inspectors and agents shall have authority to enter and inspect at any time
any place or establishment covered by KRS 339.210 to 339.450, and to have
access to age certificates kept on file by the employer and such other records
as may aid in the enforcement of KRS 339.210 to 339.450. School directors of
pupil personnel are likewise empowered to visit and inspect places where
minors may be employed, and shall report any cases of employment that they
find in violation of KRS 339.210 to 339.450 to the Department of Workplace
Standards.
Any person authorized to enforce KRS 339.210 to 339.450 may require an
employer of a minor for whom an age certificate is not on file either to furnish
him or her within ten (10) days the evidence showing that the minor is at least
eighteen (18) years of age or to cease to employ or permit or suffer such minor
to work. Proof of the making of such demand and of failure to deliver such
proof of age shall be prima facie evidence, in any prosecution brought for
violation of KRS 339.210 to 339.450, that such minor is under eighteen (18)
years of age and is unlawfully employed.
