Correction order requirements modified.
This bill modifies how child care providers in Minnesota can challenge correction orders issued by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. It requires providers to submit written requests for reconsideration within 20 days of receiving an order, specifying which parts are in error, explaining why, and providing supporting documentation. The bill also adds a new process allowing providers to request interpretive guidance on ambiguous rules before challenging an order, and it requires the department to wait until after the reconsideration period ends before publicly posting correction orders online. Additionally, it allows licensed family child care providers to request expedited reviews if complying with an order would require significant financial costs or program changes, provided they describe alternative actions to ensure child safety. These changes take effect on January 1, 2027.
