AI Summary

This bill clarifies the definitions of "child care center" and "school-aged child care program" in Massachusetts law. It exempts certain private businesses, such as martial arts centers, dance centers, and art centers, from being considered child care centers or school-aged child care programs if they are providing after-school supervision of children with the parents' authority as part of their business plan. The bill also exempts homework assistance, tutoring, snacks, and other supports provided by the business or the parent during these after-school programs from requiring authorization by the Department of Early Education and Care.
