What’s in it

This bill relates to physical examinations of personnel working in a licensed or registered child care facility. Under current law, personnel working in a licensed or registered child care facility (facility) must take an examination within six months prior to beginning employment. Such examinations, including communicable disease tests, must be performed by a licensed physician or physician’s assistant, and be repeated every three years after initial employment. The bill allows individuals to receive an initial physical examination within the six months immediately preceding the date the individual begins employment at a facility, or within the three months immediately following the date the individual begins employment at a facility.

Read the full explanation

The individual must receive follow-up physical examinations once every three years from the date of the individual’s initial physical examination.
