Child Care Licensing Penalty Reform

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how violations of child care licensing rules are punished. Currently, some violations are a Class I felony. This bill would make a first offense a Class A1 misdemeanor, which is less severe. Prosecutors could still charge repeat offenses or those posing a risk to children as a felony, but they would have more discretion in deciding.
