§777. Blanks furnished; filing of triplicate permits; surrender and cancellation of permits

The blank work permit required by section 775 must be formulated by the director and furnished by the director to the persons authorized to sign work permits. The forms of the permits must be approved by the Attorney General. Every work permit must be made out in triplicate. All triplicates, accompanied by the original papers on which the permits were signed, must be forwarded to the bureau by the officer signing the permits, within 24 hours of the time the permit was signed. The bureau shall examine the papers and promptly return them to the officer who sent them after validating the copies and retaining one copy for bureau files. The officer may then return to the minor all papers filed in proof of age. Whenever there is reason to believe that a work permit was improperly signed, the director, deputy director or agent shall notify the local superintendent of schools of the place in which the certificate was signed. The local superintendent shall cancel the permit when directed to do so by the director. The director may develop an electronic transmittal system to fulfill these requirements. [2001, c. 398, Pt. A, §2 (AMD).]

The director shall develop a master permit system for participants in summer youth employment and training programs funded by the Department of Labor. The master permit eliminates the need for prior approval by the director or the superintendent of schools. A minor on a master permit may be removed from the master permit for the same reasons and in the same manner as applicable to an individual work permit. [1993, c. 527, §2 (NEW).]
