ABC World News Tonight with David Muir Full Broadcast - January 31, 2026

FULL WINTER STORM PUMMELING

MULTIPLE STATES. RIGHT NOW, THE

NEWLY RELEASED EPSTEIN FILES

THE IMAGES AND FAMOUS NAMES IN

THE DOCUMENTS AND THE

IMMIGRATION DEBATE,

CONTRIBUTING TO A PARTIAL

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. FIRST,

THAT WINTER STORM TEARING

THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST, LIFE

THREATENING FREEZING

TEMPERATURES FOR UP TO 160

MILLION AMERICANS STRETCHING AS

FAR SOUTH AS THE FLORIDA

EVERGLADES. SOME STATES STILL

CLEANING UP FROM LAST WEEK'S

STORM. UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW IN

THE FORECAST. MORE THAN 2000

FLIGHTS CANCELED, PLUS. A CHAIN

REACTION CRASH IN THE WEST.

DOZENS OF CARS IN THE PILEUP

ARE WEATHER TEAM TRACKING IT

ALL. THE GROWING FALLOUT FROM

THE MILLIONS OF DOCUMENTS IN

THE EPSTEIN FILES, NEWLY

RELEASED IMAGES AND

COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE RICH

AND POWERFUL, INCLUDING FORMER

PRINCE ANDREW, AND OUR FIRST

LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE AGAINST

EPSTEIN NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO.

PROSECUTORS CALLING HIM A

CONTINUED DANGER TO THE

COMMUNITY. BUT THAT 60 COUNT

INDICTMENT NEVER FILED EPSTEIN,

INSTEAD PLEADING TO A LESSER

CHARGE. TONIGHT, THE SURVIVORS

SPEAKING OUT. BREAKING NEWS IN

THE IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN. A

FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERING THE

RELEASE OF A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY

AND HIS FATHER DETAINED OUTSIDE

THEIR HOME IN MINNEAPOLIS. AND

AS PROTESTS CONTINUE, HOMELAND

SECURITY IS ASSERTING NEW

POWERS FOR AGENTS TO MAKE

ARRESTS. ALSO TONIGHT, THE

PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN,

THE BATTLE OVER DHS FUNDING AT

THE HEART OF THE DISPUTE.

WHAT'S AFFECTED THIS TIME? HOW

LONG WILL IT LAST? TRAGEDY AT

SEA. THE COAST GUARD CALLING

OFF THE SEARCH FOR SIX CREW

MEMBERS MISSING AFTER THEIR

COMMERCIAL FISHING BOAT SANK IN

ICY WATERS OFF THE COAST OF

MASSACHUSETTS. OLYMPIC SPRINTER

SHA'CARRI RICHARDSON ARRESTED.

POLICE SAY NEW VIDEO APPEARS TO

SHOW HER SPEEDING PAST A PATROL

CAR AND LATER PLEADING WITH AN

OFFICER NOT TO ARREST HER.

TIME'S UP FOR TRAVELERS. WHY IT

COULD COST YOU MORE TO FLY IF

YOU DON'T HAVE A REAL ID.

REMEMBERING ACTOR DEMOND WILSON

FROM THE BELOVED 70S SITCOM

SANFORD AND SON AND AMERICA

STRONG. WHEN THE SNOW CAME DOWN,

THESE HEROES STEPPED UP.

>> FROM ABC NEWS WORLD

HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK, THIS

IS WORLD NEWS TONIGHT.

>> GOOD EVENING. THANKS FOR

JOINING US ON THIS SATURDAY I'M

WAYNE JOHNSON. WE BEGIN TONIGHT

WITH DANGEROUS WEATHER. 27

MILLION AMERICANS ON ALERT FOR

SNOW IN THE SOUTHEAST. AND MORE

THAN 175 MILLION FACING A

BRUTAL ARCTIC BLAST. THE SNOW

IS GETTING HEAVIER IN THE

CAROLINAS WITH GUSTY WINDS.

SOME AREAS NEAR THE COAST COULD

SEE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS, CREWS

STRUGGLING TO CLEAR THE ROADS,

THE SEVERE WEATHER ALSO CAUSING

MAJOR TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS. MORE

THAN 2000 FLIGHTS CANCELED

TODAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,

DENSE FOG CONTRIBUTED TO A

CHAIN REACTION CRASH. DOZENS OF

CARS IN THE PILEUP SHUTTING

DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND

TENNESSEE CALLING IN THE

NATIONAL GUARD TO REMOVE DEBRIS.

ONE OF THE STATE'S STILL

CLEANING UP FROM LAST WEEK'S

DEADLY STORM. THERE'S ALSO A

COASTAL FLOODING THREAT FOR THE

SOUTHEAST. OUR WEATHER TEAM IS

STANDING BY WITH THE FORECAST.

BUT FIRST, ABC'S CHRISTIANE

CORDERO LEADS US OFF FROM

VIRGINIA BEACH.

>> TONIGHT, ANOTHER POWERFUL

WINTER STORM SLAMMING THE EAST

SNOW BLANKETING PARTS OF THE

CAROLINAS AS RESIDENTS FROM

GEORGIA TO MARYLAND BATTLE WIND

GUSTS UP TO 70MPH. PLACES NOT

USED TO THIS KIND OF WEATHER.

VIRGINIA BEACH IS AMONG THOSE

UNDER A WINTER STORM WARNING.

>> WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF SNOW

HERE, SO REALLY IT'S ABOUT 3 OR

4 DAYS OF ALMOST AROUND THE

CLOCK PREP WORK.

>> THE ONE TWO PUNCH OF WINTER

WEATHER CAUSING DANGEROUS

DRIVING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE

WEEKEND. MORE THAN 2000 FLIGHTS

CANCELED TODAY. DELTA'S ATLANTA

HUB HEAVILY IMPACTED, AND

AMERICAN CANCELING ALL OF ITS

FLIGHTS OUT OF ITS CHARLOTTE

HUB IN WINSTON-SALEM. THE

WEATHER FORCING NASCAR TO

POSTPONE THE COOKOUT, CLASH,

RACE AND LIFE THREATENING COLD

IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOME 160

MILLION AMERICANS, WITH

SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES

STRETCHING AS FAR SOUTH AS

ORLANDO AND HOUSTON. TENNESSEE

STILL CLEANING UP FROM THE LAST

STORM. TENS OF THOUSANDS STILL

WITHOUT POWER IN THE NASHVILLE

AREA, WITH TEMPERATURES

REMAINING BELOW FREEZING.

>> THEY'RE CUTTING THINGS OFF

OF THE POWER LINES AND ANYTHING

THAT'S HANGING.

>> THE BITTER COLD CONTINUES TO

GRIP THE NORTHEAST, NEW YORK

CITY AND PHILADELPHIA,

APPROACHING THEIR LONGEST

STRETCH OF DAYS BELOW FREEZING

IN EIGHT YEARS. AND ON THE WEST

COAST, A MUCH DIFFERENT STORY.

FOGGY CONDITIONS MAY HAVE

CONTRIBUTED TO A PILEUP

INVOLVING DOZENS OF VEHICLES IN

DELANO. OUTSIDE OF BAKERSFIELD,

TEN PEOPLE HURT. THE ROAD

CLOSED FOR HOURS WITH THE PLOWS

ARE READY TO GO. HERE IN

VIRGINIA BEACH, TEMPERATURES

ARE IN THE 20S, WHICH IS VERY

UNUSUAL. THE NORMAL HIGH THIS

TIME OF YEAR IS IN THE 50S. AND

THE LAST TIME THE CITY

EXPERIENCED A PROLONGED COLD

SNAP LIKE THIS WAS IN 2018.

>> ALL RIGHT, CHRISTIANE,

THANKS SO MUCH. LET'S GET RIGHT

TO METEOROLOGIST DANNY

BECKSTROM FROM OUR NEW YORK

STATION, WABC. AND, DANNY, THE

CONDITIONS ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO

GET WORSE OVERNIGHT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. THIS IS A

RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING LOW, WHICH

MEANS THE SNOWFALL INTENSITY

AND WIND INTENSITY REALLY RAMP

UP TONIGHT. SNOW FALLING FROM

NORTHEAST GEORGIA INTO VIRGINIA

RIGHT NOW. WINTER STORM

WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR THOSE

STATES AS WELL. BUT IT'S NOT

JUST THE INCHES OF SNOW, IT'S

ALSO THE WIND. THE COMBINATION

OF BOTH COULD CREATE WHITEOUT

CONDITIONS, WHICH MAKES TRAVEL

ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. BUT IN

FUTURECAST INTO PLAY, THE SNOW

CONTINUES TO FALL FOR THE

CAROLINAS THROUGH DAYBREAK

SUNDAY. THEN THE STORM SYSTEM

RIDES UP THE EAST COAST. NOW IT

LOOKS LIKE THE NORTHEAST SPARED

FROM THE SNOW. BUT WE'LL GET

THE WIND. WHERE IN THE

CAROLINAS, WE COULD PICK UP AN

ADDITIONAL SIX PLUS INCHES OF

SNOW BEFORE SUNDAY MORNING.

STORM MOVES OUT. THE COLD AIR

MOVES IN. FREEZE WARNINGS FROM

HOUSTON DOWN THROUGH THE

FLORIDA PENINSULA. EXTREME COLD

WARNING FOR THE STATES IN

BETWEEN. AND WE'RE TALKING

TEMPERATURES SUBFREEZING FOR SO

MUCH OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THE PURPLE BOXES, THOSE ARE

POTENTIAL RECORDS FALLING

TOMORROW MORNING. IT WILL FEEL

SUBFREEZING MIAMI ACTUAL AIR

TEMPERATURE TOMORROW IN THE 30S.

BRUTAL COLD FOR THEM.

>> YEAH. ANOTHER LONG,

DIFFICULT STRETCH FOR SO MANY

OF US. THANKS, DANNY. NOW TO

THE FALLOUT FROM THE LATEST

RELEASE OF THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN

DOCUMENTS. THEY INCLUDE

COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE RICH

AND POWERFUL, FROM THE CO-OWNER

OF AN NFL TEAM TO BILLIONAIRES

LIKE ELON MUSK. AND TONIGHT,

THE NEWLY RELEASED PHOTOS OF

BRITAIN'S FORMER PRINCE ANDREW.

HERE'S ABC'S INVESTIGATIVE

REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN.

>> TONIGHT. THE FALLOUT

CONTINUES AS NEW DETAILS EMERGE

FROM THE MILLIONS OF NEWLY

RELEASED JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

RECORDS ON CONVICTED SEX

OFFENDER JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

>> TODAY, WE ARE PRODUCING MORE

THAN 3 MILLION PAGES, INCLUDING

MORE THAN 2000 VIDEOS AND

180,000 IMAGES.

>> INCLUDING THIS STUNNING,

NEVER BEFORE SEEN PROSECUTION

MEMO AND DRAFT INDICTMENT

WRITTEN NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO.

PROSECUTORS IN FLORIDA

DETAILING THE DISTURBING

EVIDENCE THEY GATHERED AGAINST

THE FINANCIER, CALLING HIM A

CONTINUED DANGER TO THE

COMMUNITY BASED UPON HIS

CONTINUED ENTICEMENT OF

UNDERAGE GIRLS. BUT THAT 60

COUNT INDICTMENT NEVER FILED.

INSTEAD, EPSTEIN LANDING THE

NOW INFAMOUS DEAL, ALLOWING HIM

TO PLEAD GUILTY TO LESSER STATE

PROSTITUTION CHARGES FOR WHICH

HE SERVED JUST 13 MONTHS IN A

FLORIDA JAIL. UPON HIS RELEASE,

EPSTEIN, FREED TO ENJOY A JET

SETTING LIFESTYLE AND ACCESS TO

THE RICH AND FAMOUS UNTIL HIS

2019 ARREST. THESE MESSAGES

FROM 2013 SHOW EPSTEIN

CONNECTING NEW YORK GIANTS

CO-OWNER STEVE TISCH WITH

VARIOUS WOMEN. IN ONE EXCHANGE,

TISCH ASKED ABOUT A WOMAN ONLY

IDENTIFIED AS M, WRITING

CURIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT M PRO OR

CIVILIAN. IN ANOTHER, EPSTEIN

INFORMED TISCH ABOUT A

MICROBIOLOGY STUDENT IN FLORIDA

WHO HE SAID WAS INTERESTED IN

MEETING ADVISING TISCH TO,

QUOTE, MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU

WILL ORGANIZE HER TICKET. IN A

STATEMENT, TISCH, ACKNOWLEDGING

A BRIEF ASSOCIATION WHERE WE

EXCHANGED EMAILS ABOUT ADULT

WOMEN BUT SAYING I DID NOT TAKE

HIM UP ON ANY OF HIS

INVITATIONS AND NEVER WENT TO

HIS ISLAND. AS WE ALL KNOW NOW,

HE WAS A TERRIBLE PERSON AND

SOMEONE I DEEPLY REGRET

ASSOCIATING WITH. KNOWN EPSTEIN

ASSOCIATES LIKE THE FORMER

PRINCE ANDREW, WHO WAS STRIPPED

OF HIS ROYAL TITLES LAST YEAR

OVER HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH

EPSTEIN. BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT

AS WELL, WITH THE RELEASE OF

THESE PHOTOS SHOWING HIM

CROUCHED OVER A YOUNG WOMAN,

THE DATE AND CONTEXT OF THE

INTERACTION UNCLEAR.

REPRESENTATIVES FOR ANDREW HAVE

NOT RESPONDED TO A REQUEST FOR

COMMENT. ALSO IN THE DOCUMENTS,

NUMEROUS UNVERIFIED TIPS AND

UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS

AGAINST POWERFUL FIGURES IN

POLITICS, FINANCE AND

ENTERTAINMENT, INCLUDING

PRESIDENT TRUMP CLAIMS THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS ARE

UNFOUNDED AND FALSE.

>> THERE'S THIS MANTRA OUT

THERE THAT, OH, YOU KNOW, THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS

SUPPOSED TO PROTECT DONALD J.

TRUMP AND THAT'S WHAT WE WERE

TELLING. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THAT

WAS NEVER THE CASE. WE ARE

ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT THE

VICTIMS.

>> BUT SOME OF EPSTEIN'S

VICTIMS NOW FURIOUS, SAYING

MANY OF THEIR NAMES WERE LEFT

UNREDACTED AND EXPOSED. IN THIS

LATEST RELEASE, EPSTEIN

SURVIVOR CHARLENE RICHARD

TONIGHT TELLING ME SHE IS,

QUOTE, COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED

WITH THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

>> I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH

IN THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM AT THIS

POINT. THE DOJ IS NOT TAKING

CARE AND SURVIVORS AT ALL.

THEY'RE NOT CONSIDERING US.

>> AND NOW THE BIPARTISAN

LAWMAKERS WHO PUSHED FOR THE

RELEASE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES

ARE RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

3 MILLION PAGES OF RECORDS THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DID NOT

RELEASE. THEY'RE NOW ASKING FOR

AN IN-PERSON BRIEFING TO REVIEW

THE FULL FILES WITH.

>> OLIVIA RUBIN FOR US TONIGHT.

AND TUNE IN TO THIS WEEK.

TOMORROW MORNING. GEORGE

STEPHANOPOULOS SPEAKS WITH

DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL TODD

BLANCH ABOUT THE RELEASE OF THE

EPSTEIN FILES. NOW TO THE

TURMOIL AND PROTESTS IN

MINNEAPOLIS TODAY, A FEDERAL

JUDGE DENYING MINNESOTA'S

REQUEST TO TEMPORARILY STOP THE

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

OPERATION. AND WHAT WE'RE

LEARNING TONIGHT ABOUT THE FATE

OF A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY AND HIS

FATHER DETAINED OUTSIDE THEIR

HOME. ABC'S JOSH IS IN

MINNESOTA TONIGHT.

>> TONIGHT, AS AMERICANS ARE IN

THE STREETS PROTESTING FEDERAL

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS

IN U.S. CITIES. ICE OUT THE

COURT BATTLE TO REMOVE ICE

OFFICERS FROM MINNESOTA DEALT A

SETBACK. A FEDERAL JUDGE TODAY

DENYING A PETITION BY THE STATE

TO END THE IMMIGRATION

OPERATION IN MINNESOTA, SAYING

THE BALANCE OF HARMS DOES NOT

DECISIVELY FAVOR AN INJUNCTION,

ADDING THAT A FEDERAL COURT OF

APPEALS HAD RECENTLY REVERSED A

MUCH MORE NARROW REQUEST. THIS

COMES AS A MEMO OBTAINED BY ABC

NEWS REVEALS THAT THE

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

RECENTLY EXPANDED THE ABILITY

OF IMMIGRATION AGENTS TO MAKE

ARRESTS WITHOUT A WARRANT,

SOMETHING ANTI ICE PROTESTERS

HAVE CONDEMNED. AND TONIGHT,

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING FEDERAL

AGENTS WILL NO LONGER ASSIST IN

QUELLING PROTESTS UNLESS

REQUESTED BY LOCAL LEADERS.

TRUMP ADDING THAT DHS OFFICIALS

WILL STILL BE DEPLOYED TO

PROTECT FEDERAL PROPERTY.

>> BRINGING HOME THE.

>> PROTESTERS TODAY ALSO

CONDUCTING SIT INS AT TARGET

STORES AROUND MINNEAPOLIS. WE

ARE HERE INSIDE ONE OF THE MANY

TARGETS IN MINNEAPOLIS, WHERE

DOZENS OF PROTESTERS HAVE

DECIDED TO HOLD A SIT IN MAKING

THEIR VOICES HEARD.

>> JUST LIKE A TREE.

>> TARGET HAS BEEN CRITICIZED

BY PROTESTERS, WHO ARE URGING

THE COMPANY TO DO MORE IN THE

FACE OF IMMIGRATION ACTIONS IN

MINNESOTA, WHERE TARGET IS

HEADQUARTERED. TARGET HAS SAID

IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY AGREEMENT

WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

AGENCIES. IMMIGRATION

ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN A

FLASHPOINT THROUGHOUT THE

COUNTRY. THE DETAINMENT OF A

FIVE YEAR OLD AND HIS FATHER

WITH A PENDING ASYLUM CASE

SPARKED OUTRAGE, WITH MESSAGING

FROM THE ADMINISTRATION ADDING

TO THE FUROR. TODAY, A FEDERAL

JUDGE IN TEXAS SAYING THE FIVE

YEAR OLD AND HIS FATHER SHOULD

BE RELEASED AS SOON AS

PRACTICABLE AND NO LATER THAN

FEBRUARY 3RD. WITH PRESIDENT

TRUMP'S SOCIAL MEDIA POST DID

NOT SAY WHETHER ICE AGENTS WILL

BE PULLED OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS OR

ANY OTHER STATES SEEING ICE

OPERATIONS WITH JOSH.

>> WE APPRECIATE IT. AND THAT

NATIONWIDE DEBATE OVER

IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWNS NOW

CONTRIBUTING TO A PARTIAL

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVERNIGHT,

SENATORS PASSING A BIPARTISAN

PACKAGE OF FUNDING BILLS, BUT

REMOVING EXTENDED FUNDING FOR

HOMELAND SECURITY, LEAVING

LAWMAKERS TWO WEEKS TO

NEGOTIATE POTENTIAL REFORMS TO

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

OPERATIONS. HERE'S ABC'S SENIOR

WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT

SELENA WANG.

>> TONIGHT, A PARTIAL

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN KICKING OFF

THE FIGHT OVER FEDERAL

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

DEMOCRATS PUSHING FOR NEW

RESTRICTIONS AFTER THE KILLING

OF ALEX AND RENEE GOOD IN

MINNEAPOLIS. THE SENATE DEAL

PASSED FRIDAY NIGHT AND, BACKED

BY PRESIDENT TRUMP, STRIPS

HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING OUT

OF THE BROADER PACKAGE, GIVING

DHS TWO WEEKS OF FUNDING TO

ALLOW TIME FOR NEGOTIATIONS.

DEMOCRAT DEMANDS INCLUDE ENDING

ROVING PATROLS BY FEDERAL

AGENTS, HOLDING AGENTS TO THE

SAME USE OF FORCE STANDARDS AS

STATE AND LOCAL POLICE,

PROHIBITING THEM FROM WEARING

MASKS AND REQUIRING BODY

CAMERAS. BUT REPUBLICANS

ALREADY PUSHING BACK. ARE YOU

ON BOARD MORE BROADLY WITH WHAT

DEMOCRATS ARE ASKING FOR HERE?

WHEN IT COMES TO REINING IN

FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS?

>> NO, I MEAN, LOOK, THE BODY

CAMERAS IS SOMETHING THAT

EVERYBODY EMBRACES. THE MASKING

IS TO PROTECT LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THEY'RE BEING DOXED AND

ATTACKED AND FOLLOWED AROUND

AND AND MALIGNED.

>> THE HOUSE RETURNS MONDAY

NIGHT, THE SPEAKER TELLING ME

THIS PARTIAL GOVERNMENT

SHUTDOWN WON'T LAST LONG. BUT

TONIGHT, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER

HAKEEM JEFFRIES SAYS DEMOCRATS

WILL NOT HELP REPUBLICANS FAST

TRACK THIS FUNDING BILL.

>> IF WE'RE CONTEMPLATING A TWO

WEEK FREEZE IN ORDER TO GET US

TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN SEE

DRAMATIC CHANGE, WE WANT TO

UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S AN IRON

CLAD PATH FORWARD TO GET THOSE

THINGS DONE.

>> IF THIS DRAGS ON, FEDERAL

WORKERS COULD MISS PAYCHECKS

AND TRAVELERS COULD SEE DELAYS

AT AIRPORTS. BUT SOME PARTS OF

THE GOVERNMENT ARE ALREADY

FUNDED THROUGH THE FALL,

INCLUDING FOOD ASSISTANCE

PROGRAMS LIKE SNAP AND WICK.

>> SELENA WANG JOINING US NOW,

AND SELENA. THERE ARE ALSO NEW

WORK REQUIREMENTS TAKING EFFECT

SOON THAT WILL IMPACT PEOPLE

WHO RELY ON SNAP BENEFITS.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, WADE, AND

THOSE CHANGES START TOMORROW,

AND IT COULD MEAN MILLIONS OF

AMERICANS LOSE THEIR SNAP

BENEFITS. UNDER TRUMP'S MEGA

BILL PASSED LAST YEAR, THE AGE

FOR MANDATORY WORK REQUIREMENTS

IS RISING FROM 54 TO 64 YEARS

OLD, AND EXEMPTIONS ARE

NARROWING TO CAREGIVERS OF

CHILDREN 18 AND UNDER WERE

PREVIOUSLY EXEMPT. NOW THAT

CUTOFF DROPS TO 14 AND UNDER
