AI Summary

This bill requires family child care licensees to disclose if they are not covered by liability insurance. Specifically, it mandates that if a family child care licensee does not have liability insurance, they must notify the Department of Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities, post a notice in their home, and provide written notice to parents or guardians of children in their care. The bill also requires the Department to post certain information on its website, such as the issuance of provisional licenses or fines, pending reports, and any actions taken against a licensee. The goal of the bill is to increase transparency and ensure that parents are aware if their child's family child care provider does not have liability coverage.
