Require the Department of Health and Human Services to create a youth afterschool credential and an adult eligibility passport under the Child Care Licensing Act

Summary

The bill would have the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services create a credential for 16‑ and 17‑year‑old after‑school workers and a passport for adults 18 and older who want to work in licensed child‑care or youth‑serving programs. Holders would need to pass background checks, complete a seven‑hour orientation (for teens), and could use the credential or passport as proof of eligibility for up to one year, with annual renewal. The measure was indefinitely postponed and did not become law.
