AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 43-20-7 to change how members of the Child Care Advisory Council are selected. Previously, the council's twelve members were chosen with specific representation from licensed child care providers, professional organizations, advocacy groups, and state agencies. Now, the council members will be appointed based on recommendations submitted by child care providers from across the state, with the goal of ensuring diverse perspectives from those directly involved in providing child care services. The council's primary role remains to advise the licensing agency on developing and interpreting regulations for child care facilities.
