Bill > HF5130

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to allow the Commissioner to grant variances to the licensed capacity of child care centers if the center's indoor space is within 100 square feet of what would be required for maximum enrollment based on the number and qualifications of the staff. The bill requires the variance request to be submitted in the form and manner prescribed by the Commissioner. This change is intended to provide more flexibility for child care centers to accommodate fluctuations in enrollment and staffing while maintaining appropriate health and safety standards.
