Bill Summary
Amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), entitled "An act to consolidate, editorially revise, and codify the public welfare laws of the Commonwealth," in departmental powers and duties as to licensing, further providing for right to enter and inspect.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Human Services Code to require all child care centers and family child care homes to install and maintain door safety guards that meet or exceed specific requirements established by the department of human services. The purpose of these door safety guards is to minimize the risk of harm or injury to children. By mandating these safety devices, the bill aims to enhance child protection in licensed child care facilities. The new requirement will take effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law, giving child care providers time to install the required door safety guards. The bill does not specify the exact technical specifications for the door safety guards, leaving those details to be determined by departmental regulations, which suggests that the relevant government agency will develop specific standards for what constitutes an acceptable door safety guard.
