Summary of Legislation: This bill revises the definition of "child care home". It limits the number of
children under twelve months of age that may be provided care in a child care home. It provides that certain
child care programs are exempt from licensure. It amends certain licensing requirements for a class II child
care home and a child care center.
It provides that certain child care providers are eligible for voucher payments.
It allows certain child care programs at schools to provide services to business employees' children when the
business enters into a contract with the school and certain conditions are met.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Class II Child Care: If fewer Class II child care homes register with
the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), the bill could reduce the administrative workload
of the FSSA.
School-based Programs: The FSSA may have additional workload when inspecting school-based programs
when more than one exemption applies. Any workload increase is expected to be minimal and within the
existing appropriations, assuming near customary agency staffing and resource levels.
Eligible for Voucher Payments: This provision should have no fiscal impact on the FSSA. Currently, FSSA
requires all unlicensed providers who accept CCDF to meet basic health and safety standards. This bill does
not change that requirement.
HB 1102 1 Explanation of State Revenues:
Explanation of Local Expenditures: The bill will have an indeterminate workload impact for the county
Office of Family and Children, but it could potentially reduce the number of Class II child care homes that
are subject to inspection. Any change in the number of inspections that must be performed would be reduced
by a Class II child care home opting not to register with the FSSA.
Child care homes are subject to annual, unannounced inspections during normal business hours to verify
checklist items.
Zoning Ordinance: To the extent that certain residential structures were not explicitly excluded from zoning
prohibitions, the bill could potentially impact the workload of local units. The impact is expected to be
minimal.
Explanation of Local Revenues:
State Agencies Affected: FSSA, Division of Family and Children.
Local Agencies Affected: County Office of Family and Children.
