Bill > HF843

This bill requires members of legislative committees focused on children and family policy or finance to spend at least 12 hours every two years observing activities at child care facilities. The purpose appears to be ensuring that legislators who make policy and funding decisions related to child care gain direct, first-hand experience by visiting and observing these facilities. To implement this requirement, both the Minnesota House of Representatives and the Senate must create and adopt specific legislative rules that outline how committee members will fulfill this observational mandate. By mandating these facility observations, the bill aims to provide legislators with practical insights into the daily operations and conditions of child care settings, potentially informing more informed and practical policy and budget decisions related to child care.
