Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to increase the total number of children allowable for informal family child care.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the definition of "informal family child care" to increase the number of children a provider can care for in their home. Currently, informal family child care is defined as providing nonresidential child care services for compensation for three or fewer children, excluding children living in the household, with care given in the provider's own home to at least one child not related to the caregiver. The bill seeks to change this to allow providers to care for up to 12 children, excluding children who are living in the household, while still requiring care to be given in the provider's home to at least one unrelated child. This change aims to expand the capacity of informal family child care providers.
