In California, a child who has graduated from high school does not need to get a work permit and is not subject to hours limitations. Does New York State take the same approach?

No. In New York State, graduation from High School does not exempt a minor from:

needing a Child Performer Permit or
following the hours of limitations imposed by regulations

However, if you provide proof that a child performer has finished High School, then you no longer need to include the Child Performer School Form LS-560 with applications to renew the child performer’s permit.
