AI Summary
This bill modifies child care licensing and reporting requirements in Minnesota, primarily by introducing new provisions that will take effect on January 15, 2027. Key changes include requiring that official notifications and publicly posted summaries of correction orders, conditional licenses, and certain disciplinary actions (like license suspension, fines, or revocation) for child care providers indicate whether the violations were self-reported by the license holder. Additionally, licensed child care centers will be mandated to provide parents and caregivers with written materials and post a poster about recognizing and reporting signs of physical abuse and neglect in infants and children, with parents needing to sign an attestation of receipt. Finally, all licensed child care programs will be required to notify parents and legal guardians within 48 hours if an emergency responder is called to the facility, specifying the type of response.
