New York Governor Andrew Cuomo last week signed into law regulations that grant young print and runway models rights—including provisions for future financial security and offers of study time and snack breaks—that the Empire State had previously not afforded them. So Reuters reports.
The new law takes models younger than 18 out from under the purview of the Department of Education, which afforded them little protection other than limiting their work hours, and makes young models’ treatment subject to the Department of Labor’s child labor laws.
