Bill > SF3137

This bill makes a technical correction to Minnesota's child care background study regulations by updating cross-references in the statute. Specifically, the bill modifies section 245C.02, subdivision 6a, which defines a "child care background study subject" by replacing references to chapter 119B with chapter 142E in two instances within a paragraph describing conditions under which an individual providing external services may be exempt from a background study. The change ensures that the legal references are consistent and accurate, particularly when describing documentation requirements for service providers in licensed child care centers, family child care programs, and legal non-licensed child care providers. The bill does not substantively change the underlying regulations about background studies, but rather corrects a potential source of legal confusion by aligning the statutory cross-references. This type of technical correction is common in legislative practice to maintain the clarity and precision of statutory language.
