CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT

DIGEST FOR ESB 110



Citations Affected: IC 12-17.2-4-2 ; IC 12-17.4-3-2.

Synopsis: Care of children. Provides certain standards that a child care provider that receives a child care development voucher must meet. Specifies that a local step ahead council may not require child care ministries to meet additional standards unless those additional standards are approved by the general assembly or the division of family and children. Requires an applicant for a class I child care home license to meet certain requirements regarding education and training. Allows a class I child care home to serve a school age child during a break in the school year that exceeds four weeks if: (1) the school age child was at the home part-time during the four months preceding the break or has a sibling attending the child care home; and (2) the child care home and its licensee meet certain requirements. Removes the requirement that a person reside in a child care home to qualify for a license to operate a class II child care home. Lifts the July 1, 1996, moratorium imposed on the licensure of class II child care homes. Changes the definition of "child care center". Requires employees of child care institutions, group homes, and child care centers to be currently (as opposed to "annually") certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). (This conference committee report does the following: (1) removes a provision that would have required the division of family and children to adopt rules to require each child who is less than 18 years of age and who resides in a family that receives monthly cash assistance payments through the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to receive certain immunizations and that provided exemptions for religious and medical reasons; and (2) requires employees of child care institutions, group homes, and child care centers to be currently (as opposed to "annually") certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). )

Effective: July 1, 2001.
