Dave Hinman is an American politician serving in the Missouri House of Representatives.
He graduated from Iowa State University with a bachelor's degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management.
[2] In 2024, Hinman sponsored a bill to eliminate an approval process for child labor in Missouri.
The existing process requires children ages 14 and 15 to have work roles and hours approved through a certificate signed by their school and the department of labor to ensure that conditions are not hazardous or conflict with student educational needs.
Hinman initially filed the bill because a restaurant in his district had difficulty staffing later hours, however federal law does not allow children under 16 to work after 7pm.
