Specifically, under the bill:

·         Beginning on the bill’s effective date, each child care center, group child care home, and family child care home, upon enrollment of a child under one year of age into its care, would have to provide the parent of that child with a copy of the rules regarding infant safe sleep that have been promulgated by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) under the act.[1]

·         No later than 90 days after the bill’s effective date, each child care center, group child care home, and family child care home would have to provide a copy of those rules to the parent of each child in its care who is under one year of age.

The bill would take effect 90 days after being enacted.
