HB 1975 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Creates a prescribed pediatric extended care facility license issued by the department of health and senior services

This bill creates a new licensing requirement for facilities that provide specialized medical care to young children with complex health needs. It defines these "prescribed pediatric extended care facilities" as places offering skilled nursing and therapy services to eligible children under six years old within existing child care centers. The Department of Health and Senior Services will be responsible for issuing licenses, conducting inspections, and enforcing rules regarding staffing, safety, and sanitation. The law also establishes procedures for handling complaints, disciplining non-compliant providers, and coordinating with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education regarding child care licenses.
