§254.  Application for permit; requirements

A.  Application for the permit required by R.S. 23:253(4) shall be made by a duly authorized agent of the motion picture, film, theatrical, modeling, photographic advertising, or video production company or the person or persons employing the minor to sing, dance, or play a musical instrument at least thirty-six hours before the minor is scheduled to begin work.  However, the secretary may waive the advance application requirement if the applicant can establish good cause.  The application shall be filed for each respective project.  The application shall specify the projected dates of employment of minors and shall state the approximate number of minors and the minimum age of any minor that shall be employed during such period.  The name, address, documentary proof of age, and written parental consent of each minor employed shall be submitted to the Department of Labor with the project application or within fifteen days of the employment termination date of such minor.

B.  The secretary shall issue the permit after satisfying himself that the supervision of the minor is adequate, and that the conditions of employment are not detrimental to the health, morals, or safety of the minor.  The secretary shall adopt rules pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act setting forth time limits outside of which a minor may not participate in such performances.

C.  The secretary shall revoke the permit if he finds that the conditions of employment are detrimental to the health, morals, or safety of the minor.  The secretary in his discretion may revoke or suspend the permit without prior notice.  Such action shall have the effect of prohibiting continued working of the minor pending an investigation into the minor's working conditions.
