Summary
Amends the Child Care Act of 1969. Provides that at least once each year, DCFS must provide to each child care facility a copy of the most recent comprehensive list of unsafe children's products maintained by the Department of Public Health under the Children's Product Safety Act; authorizes DCFS to provide a copy of the list as often as 4 times per year. Provides that every child care facility must maintain at its premises a file containing all bulletins or notices issued by the Department of Public Health concerning unsafe children's products and must make the file accessible to the facility's staff members and to parents of the children who attend the facility. Amends the Children's Product Safety Act. Provides that a "children's product" is one designed or intended for the care of or use by a child under age 12 (instead of under age 6). Replaces the definition of "commercial user" with a definition of "commercial dealer", which includes one who manufactures children's products. Imposes requirements on commercial dealers in children's products with respect to product recalls. Provides that a commercial dealer who violates the Act is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each day the violation continues (instead of providing that a commercial user who willfully and knowingly violates the Act is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor). Provides that nothing in the Act relieves a commercial dealer from compliance with stricter requirements imposed by a federal agency. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
