Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person may for compensation provide care and
supervision for four or more children under seven years of age for less than 24 hours
a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the
Department of Children and Families. Certain persons, however, including public,
parochial, or tribal schools, are exempt from this requirement. This substitute
amendment requires a public school or an unaccredited private school that provides
such care and supervision for children under three years of age to obtain a license
to operate a child care center.
