Summary of Legislation: Child Care Homes: The bill allows the Family and Social Services Administration
(FSSA) to deny or revoke licensing for a child care home based on a household member's conviction for
certain specified criminal offenses. It also removes a limitation specifying that an occupancy provision
regarding school-age children in Class I Child Care Homes applies only during the school year.
Bureau of Quality Improvement Services (BQIS): The bill eliminates the Bureau of Quality Improvement
Services (BQIS) and reassigns the bureau's responsibilities to the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities
Services (BDDS).
Name Change: The bill renames the Bureau of Child Care as the Office of Early Childhood and Out of
School Learning.
Mobile Integrated Health: The bill amends the required composition of mobile crisis teams that provide
behavioral health services in conjunction with the 9-8-8 suicide prevention hotline.
Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA): The bill provides that a contract entered into with a third
party by the DMHA for provision of competency restoration services to a defendant may confer to the third
party all authority the DMHA would have in providing the services to the defendant at a state psychiatric
institution.
The bill makes conforming amendments.
HB 1222 1 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
cost savings.
Mobile Integrated Health: The bill requires supervision by certain providers and allows the supervision to
be provided remotely. Possible workload efficiencies may result from allowing for several types of providers
to act as team supervisors, and for the supervision to be conducted remotely. However, to the extent that
certain providers on the mobile team, under their scope of practice, are allowed remote supervision, any
workload change will be minimal.
