Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to allowing child day care providers an extension of time to make necessary changes or accommodations to their facility to meet licensing requirements

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Social Services Law to provide child day care providers with more flexibility when addressing facility licensing requirements. Specifically, the bill allows the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to extend the standard 90-day period for making necessary changes or accommodations to meet licensing standards. After an initial extension, OCFS will have the authority to grant additional time extensions as needed, preventing day care providers from having to restart the entire licensing application process if they cannot immediately meet all requirements. This change aims to support child care providers by giving them more time to make facility improvements without disrupting their ability to operate, which could help maintain child care availability in the state.
