Minnesota SF1641 allows variances to licensed capacity for child care centers if indoor space is within 100 square feet of the required limit.

Minnesota SF1641 amends child care licensing rules to allow the commissioner to grant variances to licensed capacity for child care centers. A variance can be considered if the center's indoor space is within 100 square feet of the required limit based on staff number and qualifications. The commissioner may also consider variances for child care center staff qualification requirements that do not affect the health and safety of children. Variance requests must be submitted on a form prescribed by the commissioner and include reasons for non-compliance and alternative measures.
