The Iowa Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow minors to work in currently banned roles and longer hours.

The new bill would extend the hours teens under 16 could work up to six hours per day, two more than currently allowed. It would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to serve alcohol at restaurants with parental permission.
