Bill > SB239

This bill modifies the requirements for family child care facilities in West Virginia by adding a new provision, labeled (k), to section §49-2-113 of the code. This new provision clarifies that when calculating the ratio of staff members to children in a family child care facility, all children aged 10 and under who are present and being cared for in the facility must be counted. This includes children who belong to the facility's director, staff members, or are friends of the director or staff. This change aims to ensure consistent and safe staffing levels by accounting for all young children under care, regardless of their relationship to the facility's personnel.
