A bill for an act relating to age requirements for an individual to provide child care without supervision.

HF 2054 amends Iowa law to allow 15-year-olds to provide unsupervised child care at licensed facilities under specific conditions, instead of requiring providers to be at least 18 years old. It directly affects minors aged 15-17 who complete department-approved training in safe sleep, first aid, and child abuse reporting, plus document 10+ hours of supervised childcare experience. The bill requires facilities to follow these new age rules while maintaining all other existing health and safety standards for child care operations. This change creates a pathway for older minors to work in childcare roles without direct adult supervision, subject to strict training and experience requirements.
