Department of Human Resources, child-care facilities, exceptions to licensing requirements, limited; child abuse investigations, procedures and authority revised; cause of action for violations

Summary

The bill would require any child‑care facility that operates for profit or provides 24‑hour residential care to obtain a state license, ending current exemptions. It also lets the Department of Human Resources set video‑surveillance rules and permits police to enter facilities without notice when investigating abuse, while creating a private right to sue for violations. The changes aim to increase oversight and protect children.
