Massachusetts H255 aims to enable access and empower early educators by regulating family child care homes.

Massachusetts H255 seeks to empower early educators by regulating family child care homes. It prohibits cities and towns from banning or making it unreasonably difficult to operate these homes. The bill also voids any written restrictions on using or occupying property as a family child care home. It mandates that the use of a home as a family child care home be considered a residential use of property. Additionally, it prohibits local jurisdictions from imposing additional business licenses, fees, or taxes on family child care homes.
