AI Summary

This bill revises the definitions of "family day care home" and "large family child care home" in Palm Beach County, Florida, by specifying that the maximum number of children allowed in these homes will be determined by Florida Statutes and administrative rules from the Florida Department of Children and Families, rather than by specific numerical limits previously outlined in the law. A "family day care home" is defined as a residence where custodial care is provided to children for payment, and a "large family child care home" is a similar residence with at least two full-time childcare personnel, requiring prior experience and credentials for the operator.
