- By striking everything after the enacting clause and inserting: “Section
- DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES —— CHILD CARE PROVIDER MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT. The department of human services shall amend its administrative rules pursuant to chapter 17A to provide that employees and substitutes working at a child care center who are sixteen years of age or older may provide child care to school age children without additional supervision, provided that if the employee or substitute is under eighteen years of age, the employee or substitute is enrolled in or has completed a course on child development offered through a community college. For the purposes of this section, “child care” and “child care center” mean the same as defined in section 237A.1.”
