Minnesota SF1232 proposes modernizing family child care regulations by updating licensing standards and implementing a risk-based monitoring model.

Minnesota SF1232 seeks to modernize family child care regulations by amending existing laws. The bill mandates the commissioner of human services to contract with an independent consultant to develop updated licensing standards and a risk-based model for monitoring compliance. These new standards and the monitoring model must be child-centered, family-friendly, and fair to providers. The consultant will engage with stakeholders, including parents, licensed family child care providers, county licensors, and experts in child development, to gather input on the new standards and model.
