Relating to the regulation of child-care facilities that provide temporary care to children of families in crisis.

SB 1275 defines a "crisis nursery facility" as a child-care provider offering temporary care for children during family crises, such as when parents need short-term help resolving stressful situations. The bill amends state law to exempt specific facilities from standard child-care regulations, including those in shopping centers, religious organizations, schools, and youth camps, provided they meet clear criteria like not advertising as a child-care center. This means qualifying facilities will not need to comply with licensing and oversight rules required of typical child-care centers. The legislation clarifies regulatory boundaries to ensure crisis support services remain accessible while streamlining oversight for other providers. It is currently under review by the Senate Health & Human Services committee.
