DEDICATED

Summary of Legislation: Child Care Homes: The bill allows the Family and Social Services Administration
(FSSA) to deny or revoke child care home licensing based on a household member having one of certain
specified criminal convictions. It removes the school year only requirements for Class I Child Care Homes.
Bureau of Quality Improvement Services (BQIS): The bill reassigns the responsibilities from the BQIS to the
Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS). It eliminates the BQIS and removes the remaining
empty article from the Indiana Code.
Name Change: The bill renames the Bureau of Child Care as the Office of Early Childhood and Out of
School Learning.
The bill makes conforming amendments.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Child Care Homes: If licenses are denied or revoked as the result of
household members having certain criminal convictions or if added oversight is required due to changes in
the children allowed to be served by a child care home, the FSSA may have added workload. This workload
is expected to be within the FSSA’s routine administrative functions and should be able to be implemented
with no additional appropriations, assuming near customary agency staffing and resource levels.
Bureau of Quality Improvement Services (BQIS): If the efficiencies from the transfer of duties reduce the
number of positions required to perform the duties currently assigned to the BQIS, the FSSA may achieve
HB 1222 1 cost savings.
