Establishes a registry of substitute staff for child care providers

This bill requires child care resource and referral programs to create and maintain a registry of substitute staff available for child care providers. The registry must include background checks and eligibility verification for individuals seeking substitute roles at licensed child care centers, family day care homes, or school-age programs. It directly affects agencies receiving funding under the social services law, mandating they establish this system to ensure substitute staff meet safety standards. The law aims to improve safety by standardizing background checks for temporary child care workers.
