Kansas Common Sense: Blocking Overreaching Department of Labor Farm Labor Rule

Statement

This week, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and I lead 38 of our Senate colleagues in introducing the Preserving America's Family Farm Act, legislation to prevent the Department of Labor (DOL) from enforcing its controversial proposed restrictions on youth working on family farms. This legislation will not only preserve a cherished way of life, but it will prevent DOL's vast overreach into the everyday lives of Americans, which should alarm more than just rural America. If these rules are allowed to move forward there is virtually nothing off limits when it comes to government intrusion into our lives. Rest assured, I will leave no stone unturned when it comes to preventing these rules from being implemented.
