What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may for compensation provide care and

supervision for four or more children under seven years of age for less than 24 hours

a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the

Department of Children and Families. Certain persons, however, including

parochial schools, are exempt from this requirement. This bill requires a private

school that provides such care and supervision for children under three years of age

to obtain a license to operate a child care center.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
