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.
