LC 465 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws regarding family and group day-care homes

This bill updates Montana's regulations for family and group day-care homes, establishing clearer standards for providers caring for up to 15 children. It requires providers to maintain liability insurance, sign contracts with parents, conduct annual safety and sanitation inspections, and keep detailed records of vaccinations, medications, and child health information. The legislation also sets specific rules for discipline, prohibiting corporal punishment and negative methods, while mandating background checks and limiting the department's ability to create rules stricter than what the law already requires.
