Child Care Providers - Licensing and Registration Alterations

Summary

HB 1574 directs the State Department of Education to set up a dedicated unit that processes criminal history checks for anyone applying to work or volunteer in licensed child‑care settings. The bill also requires the Department to issue a formal warning for a provider’s first violation of a new rule, with penalties possible for later violations. These steps aim to improve safety and oversight in Maryland’s child‑care system.
