The bill allows certified child care operators to care for up to six children under the age of seven, changing previous limits based on the relationship to the caregiver.

Wis. Stat. § 48.65(1)

No person may for compensation provide care and supervision for 4 or more children under the age of 7 for less than 24 hours a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the department. → No Except as provided under s. 48.651 (4), no person may for compensation provide care and supervision for 4 or more children under the age of 7 for less than 24 hours a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the department.

This change clarifies that certified child care operators have a specific provision allowing them to care for more children without a license.
Wis. Stat. § 48.651

48.651 (4) (a) Except as provided in pars. (b) and (c), a person certified under this section may care for up to 6 children under the age of 7, regardless of whether the children are related to the provider. (b) If the person is caring for 3 children under the age of 2, the person may care for up to 5 children in total. (c) If the person is caring for 4 children under the age of 2, the person may care for up to 4 children in total.

This provision formally establishes the new limits for certified child care operators, expanding the number of children they can care for.
