Bill > A03899

This bill requires comprehensive changes to child day care regulations, focusing on three main areas. First, it mandates that child day care providers fully disclose and display the number of household members living in home-based care settings, and requires providers to immediately update and share this information with inspectors, parents, or legal guardians upon request. Second, the bill expands inspection protocols to ensure that all inspections of child day care premises include a visual inspection of every room and closet in the home or facility. Third, the bill introduces requirements for opioid overdose prevention, allowing and encouraging child day care providers to maintain opioid antagonists (medications used to reverse opioid overdoses) on-site, accessible to staff during emergencies, and requires providers to receive training on overdose prevention. The legislation also includes protections for providers who act in good faith when using opioid antagonists, ensuring they will not be subject to criminal, civil, or administrative liability. Additionally, the bill requires providers to display important contact information and rights of parents, such as a toll-free number for inquiries and complaints, and specifies that all these changes will take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law.
