12 | authorizing and permitting the appearance of such
minor in a | ||||||

16 | more than eight
performances are given in any one week, or nine | ||||||

the parent or | ||||||
20 | guardian has placed the minor and whose connection with the
| ||||||
21 | performance or with the operation of the theatre in which the | ||||||
22 | minor is to
appear is limited to the care of such minor or of | ||||||
23 | minors appearing therein:
And provided further, that such minor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall not appear on said stage or in
a musical recital or | ||||||
2 | concert, attend rehearsals, or be present in
connection with | ||||||
3 | such appearance or rehearsals, in the theatre where the

11 | Application for such certificate shall be made by the
manager | ||||||

13 | for
the musical recital or concert, and by the parent or | ||||||
14 | guardian of such minor
to the City or County Superintendent of | ||||||
15 | Schools or his authorized agent at
least fourteen (14) days in | ||||||

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 | ||||||
