LC 478 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise child care laws

This bill revises Montana's child care laws to modernize definitions, clarify confidentiality requirements for children's information, and remove certain inspection and training mandates for local public health authorities. It directly affects child care providers, families seeking care, and state and local health agencies responsible for oversight. Key changes include updating definitions for terms like "day-care center" and "family day-care home," ensuring child care data remains confidential, and eliminating specific local health authority responsibilities for inspections and training. The legislation aims to improve coordination among child care programs while maintaining safety standards for children under 13 or those with special needs.
