Chamber Passed·6/24/26

Modifies the definition of minor in the Child Care Organizations Act.

This bill amends the Child Care Organizations Act to modify the definition of "minor child." Specifically, it clarifies that a minor child includes an individual less than 18 years of age, a resident in a child caring institution, foster family home, or foster family group home, and an individual placed in an unlicensed residence or foster family home. The definition excludes individuals providing babysitting services for compensation. The bill also outlines criteria for increased capacity in family and group child care homes, including license eligibility and duration of operation.
