Requirements for abusive head trauma training for child care providers modification

This bill updates training requirements for child care providers in Minnesota to include interactive instruction on abusive head trauma prevention. It directly affects directors, staff, substitutes, and volunteers working with children under school age, requiring them to complete at least 30 minutes of hands-on training annually. The training must cover shaking risks, prevention methods, and communication with parents about reducing abuse risks, and cannot consist only of reading or watching materials. The changes also allow this training to count toward existing annual in-service requirements and become effective on January 1, 2027.
