    (820 ILCS 205/8.1)  (from Ch. 48, par. 31.8-1)
    Sec. 8.1. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act,
minors under 16 years of age may be employed as models, or as
performers on live or pre-recorded radio or television, or in
motion pictures, or in other entertainment-related
performances, subject to reasonable conditions to be imposed
by rule of the Department of Labor. This Section shall not
apply to employment covered under Section 8 of this Act.
    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, an
employer who employs a minor under 16 years of age in a
television, motion picture, or related entertainment
production may allow the minor to work until 10 p.m. without
seeking a waiver from the Department of Labor. An employer may
apply to the Director of Labor, or his or her authorized
representative, for a special waiver permitting a minor to
work outside of the hours allowed by this Act from that portion
of Section 3 of this Act that prohibits the employment of a
minor under 16 years of age between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. from
Labor Day to June 1 or between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. from June 1
until Labor Day.
        (1) A waiver request for a minor to work between 10
    p.m. and 12:30 a.m. or between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. shall be
    granted if the Director, or his or her authorized
    representative, is satisfied that all of the following
    conditions are met:
            (A) the employment will not be detrimental to the
        health or welfare of the minor;
            (B) the minor will be supervised adequately;
            (C) the education of the minor will not be
        neglected; and
            (D) the total number of hours to be worked that day
        and week is not over the limits established in this Act
        or any rules adopted under this Act.
        (2) A waiver request for a minor to work between 12:30
    a.m. and 5 a.m. may be granted if the Director, or his or
    her authorized representative, is satisfied that all of
    the following conditions are met:
            (A) the employment will not be detrimental to the
        health or welfare of the minor;
            (B) the minor will be supervised adequately;
            (C) the education of the minor will not be
        neglected;
            (D) performance by the minor during that time is
        critical to the success of the production, as
        demonstrated by true and accurate statements by the
        employer that filming cannot be completed at any other
        time of day;
            (E) the filming primarily requires exterior
        footage of sunset, nighttime, or dawn;
            (F) the filming is scheduled on the most optimal
        day of the week for the minor's schooling;
            (G) the employer provides a schedule to the
        Department of schooling and rest periods on the day
        before, the day of, and the day after the overnight
        hours to be worked;
            (H) the age of the minor is taken into account as
        provided by this Act or any rules adopted under this
        Act;
            (I) the total number of hours to be worked that day
        and week is not over the limits established in this Act
        or any rules adopted under this Act; and
            (J) the waiver request was received by the
        Department at least 72 hours prior to the overnight
        hours to be worked.
    (c) An employer applying for the waiver shall submit to
the Director of Labor, or his or her authorized
representative, a completed application on the form that the
Director of Labor provides. The Director of Labor, or his or
her authorized representative, shall issue the waiver if,
after investigation, he or she is satisfied that (i) the
employment will not be detrimental to the health or welfare of
the minor, (ii) the minor will be supervised adequately, and
(iii) the education of the minor will not be neglected. The
waiver shall contain signatures that show the consent of a
parent or legal guardian of the minor, the employer, and an
authorized representative of a collective bargaining unit if a
collective bargaining unit represents the minor upon
employment. The Department of Labor shall promulgate and
publish all necessary rules for the enforcement of this
Section, in accordance with the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act, within 60 days after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1994.
