DAYCARE – Amends and repeals existing law to revise provisions regarding daycare licenses.

This bill (H 243) updates Idaho's daycare licensing rules to clarify standards and streamline processes. It revises definitions (like "daycare center" for 13+ children), requires applications to be completed within six months (or be abandoned), and removes outdated sections about local options and liability. The bill also updates safety standards, mandates the Department of Health and Welfare to move certain rules into statute, and eliminates redundant administrative requirements. These changes directly affect daycare providers, parents choosing childcare, and the state agency overseeing licensing.
