DAYCARE LICENSING – Amends existing law to provide for supervision requirements while a child is sleeping and to establish an exception regarding children to be counted in attendance at a daycare.

Summary

The bill updates Idaho’s daycare code to require providers to monitor sleeping children directly or via live video, adds detailed fire, weapon and water‑safety rules, and clarifies how child‑to‑staff ratios are calculated. It also exempts a provider’s own children aged five or older from being counted in family or group daycare settings. The changes were intended to improve child safety but the measure was vetoed by the governor.
