Bill > S06225

This bill requires comprehensive changes to child day care regulations in several key areas. It mandates that child day care providers openly display their license and disclose the number of household members living in home-based care settings, with the requirement to update this information immediately upon request to inspectors or parents. The bill also requires that all inspections of child day care premises include a visual inspection of every room and closet in the home or facility. Additionally, the legislation introduces new requirements for opioid overdose prevention, allowing and encouraging day care providers to maintain opioid antagonists (medication that can reverse opioid overdoses) on-site and accessible to staff during emergencies. Providers will be required to receive training on overdose prevention, and the bill includes provisions to protect individuals who use opioid antagonists in good faith from legal liability. The bill aims to enhance child safety by increasing transparency about who is present in day care settings, improving the thoroughness of facility inspections, and preparing day care staff to respond to potential opioid-related emergencies. The new regulations will take effect 90 days after becoming law, giving providers time to implement the required changes.
