relative to disclosure of criminal history and criminal records to the child care licensing unit of the department of health and human services.

SB 22 requires child care licensing units within the Department of Health and Human Services to disclose criminal history and criminal records to the licensing unit itself when processing license applications. This directly affects individuals and organizations seeking or renewing child care licenses, as they must now provide this information for review. The bill mandates that licensing units share these records with the department to assess eligibility for child care licensing. The law became effective on June 30, 2025, for Section 5, with the remainder taking effect on July 1, 2025.
