Fiscal Note
Status:
The fiscal note reflects the introduced bill.
Summary of Legislation
Currently, the Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) requires outdoor adventure day camp
programs to meet the licensing requirements of School-age Child Care Centers. The bill requires
these programs to instead fall under the regulatory framework for Children’s Resident Camps,
defining it as a type of children’s resident camp that serves children five years or older and
operates for at least six hours a day on a seasonal basis.
State Expenditures
In FY 2024-25, workload for the CDEC will minimally increase to develop rules for outdoor
adventure day camp programs under the Children’s Resident Camps regulations, and to shift the
licensing processes for these day camps to the new rules. This work can be accomplished within
existing appropriations.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his
signature. Page 2
