Minnesota SF743 requires rulemaking to relax child care staff-to-child ratios for smaller communities.

Minnesota SF743 mandates the commissioner of human services or the commissioner of children, youth, and families to amend Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0040, or its successor, to allow more flexibility for child care centers not located in the seven-county metropolitan area or in the cities of Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, and Mankato. Specifically, the bill allows these centers to not add a second staff member until there are six infants, ten toddlers, 15 preschoolers, or 20 school-aged children in a group and to group children together during regular hours of operation if there is no more than.
