What’s in it
AI summary Registered child development homes could temporarily watch more children than usual if a school child arrives early or stays late due to weather or school schedule changes. This rule only applies to children who are already enrolled in the home and cannot go over the home's total registered capacity. The Department of Human Services will create the specific rules for how this works.1
Read the official explanation
This bill establishes an exception to the number of children allowed to be present for child care at any one time in a child development home under certain conditions. The bill directs the department of human services to adopt rules allowing registered child development homes providing care to school-aged children to exceed the child-to-staff ratio when a school-aged child’s school starts late, is dismissed early, or is canceled due to inclement weather or structural damage. The child must already be enrolled at the child development home, and the number of children present cannot exceed the child development home’s registration capacity.
