State-by-state family-business carve-out vs FLSA

The federal FLSA § 213(c)(1)(C) exemption waives the minimum age, hour caps, and federal work-permit for minors working in a parent-owned non-agricultural business — but federal hazardous orders HO-1 to HO-17 still apply, and state law often narrows the carve-out. The matrix below enumerates how each of the 50 US states treats four federal carve-outs: whether the state mirrors, narrows, or broadens the federal parent-only exemption, whether a state work-permit is still required, whether state hour caps still apply, and whether state hazardous-occupation prohibitions reach the parent-owned business.
