This proposed rule is soliciting public comments regarding revisions to the definition of "minor child" as that term appears in 29 CFR 404.1(h) and on the Form LM-30 Labor Organization Officer and Employee Report.
The Department of Labor (Department) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on June 1, 2026. The Department is correcting an error to the published Form LM-2 Long Form Instructions, specifically, a page missing in the instructions. Additionally, the June 1, 2026, published final rule contained formatting errors in the Form LM-2 Long Form and Form LM-2 forms, and the Department recommends that the public refer to the OLMS website (www.dol.gov/olms) for the correctly formatted Forms and Instructions. See: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/olms/notice-lm-2-longform-rule.
The Department of Labor (Department) publishes this combined final rule to its regulations to improve its LM Labor Organization Annual Financial Reports by establishing a longer LM form for the largest labor organizations (Form LM-2 Long Form), revising a slightly shorter form for most labor organizations at and above the $350,000 threshold (Form LM-2), making a parallel revision to Form LM-3, and updating reporting thresholds for Forms LM-3 and LM-4 to promote financial integrity and transparency. The final rule applies prospectively under section 208 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA).
This final rule revises the definition of "minor child" as that term appears in 29 CFR 404.1(h) and on the Form LM-30 Labor Organization Officer and Employee Report. The definition is changed from "under 21 years of age" to "under 18 years of age." This amendment aims to align the definition with the age of majority recognized in the vast majority of United States jurisdictions, thereby reducing the reporting burden on filers while preserving the integrity and purpose of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA)'s disclosure requirements. A technical correction is also made to the Form LM-30 Instructions.
