HF 673: Requiring the registration of child care homes and providing exceptions

What it does

This bill requires child care homes to register as child development homes and provides exceptions. The bill changes the definition of “child care home” to a person or program providing child care to five or fewer children at any one time that is registered to provide child care under this Code chapter, except as authorized under Code section 237A.3. The bill makes a conforming change to the definition of “child development home”. The bill requires a child care home to register as a child development home unless the person providing the child care or operating the program is a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or adult sibling of a child receiving child care from the person or program.
