HB1771 removes the planned repeal of child care staffing ratios and the waiver system, and mandates annual notices to providers about waiver.
HB1771 amends RSA 170-E:11, I(c)(5) to ensure the Department of Health and Human Services provides annual notices to licensed child care providers about the option to request a waiver of staffing requirements. It repeals the prospective repeal of child care staffing ratios and the waiver system, scheduled for December 31, 2026. The bill also requires the department to report on the number of waivers applied for, granted, denied, and renewed, with an interim report by November 1, 2025, and a final report by November 1, 2026, followed by annual reports thereafter.
