What’s in it
AI summary Under current rules, only certain medical professionals can perform the physical exams required for people working in or attending child care facilities. This change would allow more types of licensed providers, such as chiropractors, podiatrists, and optometrists, to perform these checkups. This affects staff and children at child care centers, preschools, and registered child development homes.1
