DAYCARE – Amends and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding the licensing of daycare facilities.

H 312 revises Idaho's daycare licensing rules to update definitions, fees, safety standards, and training requirements. It clarifies terms like "daycare facility" (7+ children) and "daycare center" (13+ children), adjusts license fees based on facility size ($100-$325), and adds new safety rules for pools and firearms. The bill also introduces behavior management standards (new Section 39-1110A) and requires updated criminal history checks for staff. These changes directly affect daycare providers, owners, and operators statewide, with the law taking effect July 1, 2025.
