What’s in it
This bill requires the department of health and human services to amend its administrative rules to provide that employees and substitutes of a child care center who are years of age or older may, without additional supervision, provide child care to children up to years of age provided that at least two other persons who are years of age or older and are employed by the child care center to provide child care to children are present in the child care center. “Child care” means the care, supervision, and guidance of a child by a person other than the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian for periods of less than hours per day per child on a regular basis, with certain exceptions.
