Requiring background checks at certain drop-in child care services

Senate Bill 153 requires background checks for all staff and volunteers at drop-in child care services that provide brief care while parents are shopping, attending religious services, or engaged in other non-employment activities (with parents present or easily accessible). This applies specifically to business facilities offering such services, excluding exemptions like public schools, family day care for relatives, summer camps, hospitals, and certain out-of-school programs. The bill mandates these checks to align safety standards with licensed child care centers. It does not affect existing licensed facilities or the exempted programs listed in the bill.
