Summary

The bill changes state law so a family day‑care provider can legally look after ten children at a time, with added safety and staffing requirements for homes that exceed five children. It also sets a $25 registration fee, requires an evaluation visit, and makes the certificate of registration renewable every three years. The change expands child‑care options while keeping oversight through the Department of Children and Families.
