In plain language

The bill urges a study to simplify daycare licensure regulations in Illinois.

This measure calls for the Illinois Department of Early Childhood to explore ways to reduce licensing and regulation burdens for daycare homes. It focuses on streamlining training requirements and ensuring compliance issues do not unfairly penalize providers.

What this means for you
  • Small Business: Daycare providers may face reduced regulatory burdens, making it easier to operate their businesses.

Summary

Urges the Illinois Department of Early Childhood (IDEC) study ways to reduce licensure and regulation burdens on day care homes in Illinois. Urges the IDEC to specifically study: (1) ways to combine the multiple required trainings and certifications, including absorbing the permit requirement as part of the license, into a single training or certification that can be conducted by a properly trained IDEC employee in fewer visits rather than by employees of outside agencies and businesses, such as fire safety, radon, and lead testing; and (2) how to ensure that the detailed requirements on nutrition, activities, and toys are not used to penalize or deny license renewals based on technical violations when the day care provider is in substantial and good faith compliance with the requirements. Urges the IDEC to issue a report with their findings on these items to the General Assembly by December 31, 2027.
