Read the official explanation
This bill relates to professional liability insurance by child care centers employing unsupervised child care workers under years of age. The bill requires the department of health and human services to promulgate rules to require a child care center that employs a person under years of age who provides child care or substitute child care to school-age children without additional supervision to provide documentation to the department of professional liability insurance coverage for such employees. For the purposes of the bill, “child care” and “child care center” mean the same as defined in Code section 237A.1.
