Child care assistance program absent days limit exemption established, and technical changes made.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Children and Families Finance and Policy
Summary
The bill changes Minnesota law so licensed child‑care centers can apply for an exemption from the standard absent‑day limits when a community‑wide event such as a natural disaster or epidemic sharply reduces attendance. It keeps the existing 25 full‑day and ten‑consecutive‑day caps, with current medical‑condition and low‑education family exceptions, and adds clear definitions and notification rules. The goal is to protect providers from losing reimbursement during crises while preserving oversight of the program.
