| 14 | | guardian of such minor
to the City or County Superintendent of |
| 15 | | Schools or his authorized agent at
least fourteen (14) days in |
| 16 | | advance of such appearance. The City or County
Superintendent |
| 17 | | of Schools or his agent may issue a permit if satisfied that
|
| 18 | | adequate provision has been made for the educational |
| 19 | | instruction of such
minor, for safeguarding his health and for |

| 22 | | for such minor.
|
| 23 | | (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the City or |

|
| 1 | | and permitting the appearance of such minor as
a model or in a |
| 2 | | motion picture, radio or television production: Provided,
that |
| 3 | | no such minor shall be excused from attending school except as
|
| 4 | | authorized pursuant to Section 26-1 of The School Code. The |
| 5 | | Department of
Labor shall promulgate rules and regulations to |
| 6 | | carry out the provisions of
this subsection. Such rules and |
| 7 | | regulations shall be designed to protect
the health and welfare |
| 8 | | of child models or actors and to insure that the
conditions |
| 9 | | under which minors are employed, used or exhibited will not
|
| 10 | | impair their health, welfare, development or proper education.
|
| 11 | | (c) In situations where a minor from another state seeks to |
| 12 | | obtain an Illinois employment certificate, the Department |
| 13 | | shall work with a City or Regional Superintendent of Schools, |
| 14 | | or the State Superintendent of Education, or his or her duly |
| 15 | | authorized agents, to issue the certificate. The |
| 16 | | Superintendent may waive the requirement in Section 12 of this |
| 17 | | Act that a minor submit his or her application in person, if |
| 18 | | the minor resides in another state. |
| 19 | | (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a |
| 20 | | parent of a home-schooled student under the age of 16 shall be |
| 21 | | authorized to issue an employment certificate for his or her |
| 22 | | child for any occupation except those occupations enumerated in |
