Summary
In an effort to comply with House Bills 1079 and 1435 that passed during the 2018 legislative session, new standards have been established in this rule to address each facility’s responsibility: to provide parents of children enrolled in the facility information and resources regarding a Distracted Adult, and to annually acknowledge the reporting requirements for child care providers based on the Rilya Wilson Act, as well as their understanding of the importance of continuity of care. Additionally, the Department continues to move toward compliance with federal requirements for quality child care pursuant to the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014.
