Extends the validity period of child care provider licenses to up to six years.

The bill amends the social services law to extend the validity period of child care provider licenses to up to six years. This applies to both child day care centers and group family day care programs. The extended validity is contingent on the provider remaining in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The change aims to reduce the frequency of license renewals, potentially easing administrative burdens for providers.
