A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4617 AS INTRODUCED 4-18-01

House Bill 4617 would amend the Revised School Code to clarify the regulation of a child care center operated by a public school district. Currently if a school district or intermediate school district operates a child care center, that center is subject to the requirements of Public Act 116 of 1973, the child care licensing act. House Bill 4617 would retain this provision, but specify that it would apply to a school district's child care center "as defined in section 1" of that act. [Section 1 of Public Act 116 of 1973 defines "child care center" or "day care center" and exceptions to the definition. House Bill 4619 proposes to amend this section, to expand the exceptions so they would include before- and after-school programs administered through certain community education programs.]
