Relates to child care provider registration

This bill extends the validity period of child care provider licenses from four years to six years, affecting licensed day care centers and group family day care programs.

The bill also updates registration validity periods to match the new six-year timeframe. This policy adjustment aims to reduce administrative burdens on child care providers while maintaining oversight requirements.
