Summary

The bill adds a new Keystone STARS program that requires certified child‑care centers and family homes to publish their star rating online, give the rating to parents at application, and display a department‑issued placard. It also revises the Human Services Code fee schedule, setting modest annual fees for adult day‑care, mental‑health, and personal‑care homes while waiving fees for child‑care facilities. The changes aim to increase transparency of child‑care quality and standardize fees for other care providers.
