Congress finds and declares that the employment of children under the age of 18 in the occupation of a pesticide handler, as such occupation is defined in the worker protection standard for workers exposed to pesticides in part 170 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, is particularly hazardous for, and detrimental to the health and well-being of, such children. Not later than the date that is 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Labor shall revise part 570 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, to prohibit the employment of a child under the age of 18 to perform any of the tasks or duties described in the definition of the term handler in section 170.3 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations.
