LC 464 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise child care administrative rules

This bill updates Montana's administrative rules for child care licensing by aligning rule language with statutory definitions and removing references to school-age care. It directly affects day-care centers, family day-care homes, and group day-care homes by standardizing terminology and clarifying which types of care require licensing or registration. Key changes include renaming "child care center" to "day-care center," updating definitions of "child" to include children under 13 or those with special needs under 18, and specifying that certain programs like camps and educational programs are excluded unless providers opt into licensing. The bill also reorganizes rules to group general day-care regulations together and repeals outdated provisions related to school-age care.
