Pennsylvania regulators say child-labor permits should have been obtained for children appearing in the TV show “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” but it won’t take legal action against producers.
The Department of Labor & Industry released a letter Wednesday to Figure 8 Films and Discovery Talent Services that outlines conditions under which it’s resolving its investigation.
The department says child-labor permits will be needed for any future filming and that a portion of the proceeds must go into a trust fund for the children. The letter was issued last month.
State lawmakers are currently reviewing Pennsylvania’s child-labor laws for TV and movie production. Lawmakers were hearing testimony on the matter Wednesday.
