SF1629 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Unrelated individual providing child care to two families exemption from licensure provision

Related bill: HF1342

AI Generated Summary

The proposed bill, Minnesota Senate File No. 1629, seeks to amend Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 142B.05, subdivision 2 to expand exemptions from child care licensure requirements. Specifically, the bill modifies existing language to exempt unrelated individuals providing child care to two separate families from licensing requirements. Previously, such an exemption applied only to care provided to one related family.

Additionally, the bill maintains other existing exemptions, including child care programs operated by public schools, short-term nonresidential programs, religious instruction, scouting programs, certain camps, and nonprofit youth programs, among others.

In summary, the bill loosens licensing requirements by allowing an unrelated individual to provide child care to two families without needing a license, while keeping other existing exemptions intact.
