Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to SB 3601 changed the deadline for the Department to submit a report from June 30, 2013, to September 30, 2013, giving them more time to compile information. Additionally, the focus shifted from historical data for 2007–2012 to current data from fiscal year 2010 to now, ensuring that the report reflects recent circumstances in day care licensing. This update matters because it allows lawmakers to make informed decisions based on the latest information about day care licensing, potentially leading to improved policies and support for families and providers.
