Bill > A01301

This bill amends the social services law to require child day care centers, family day care homes, and child day care providers to notify the municipality of their intent to request a license or registration before doing so, with a specific exception for providers located within cities with a population of one million or more (which effectively means New York City). The new provision mandates that these child care providers must inform the local municipality about their plans to seek official licensing or registration, which could help local governments better track and plan for child care services in their area. The notification requirement applies to providers in smaller municipalities and cities outside of New York City, potentially giving local authorities advance notice of new child care operations. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the new notification requirement would be in place as soon as the bill becomes law.
