District 28 State Representative Greg Heartsill is pleased a youth work permit bill he sponsored was passed by the Iowa House last week.

Heartsill says he proposed the bill after hearing of the bureaucratic runaround parents were having getting a permit for 14 and 15 year olds who wanted to work at bible camps. He says the bill streamlines the permitting process to give youth an opportunity to start in the workforce.
