Amend Child Care Definitions/FFN Providers.

Summary

The bill adds a statutory definition for informal caregivers—such as relatives, friends, or neighbors—who look after children they are not legally responsible for, confirming they do not need a child‑care license. It also earmarks $30,000 for the Department of Health and Human Services to update public materials, staff guidance, and data systems to reflect the new definition. The change aims to reduce confusion and improve access to state programs for these caregivers.
