What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill changes the administrative code to increase 1) the number of children

in the ratio of minimum number of child care workers to children in a group child care

center and 2) the maximum number of children per age who can be in a group child

care center.

The bill also provides that a group child care center may adjust its ratio of child

care workers to children to match the average ratio of teachers to pupils in the school

district where the group child care center is located.
