An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in departmental powers and duties as to licensing, further providing for refusal to issue license, revocation and notice; and imposing penalties.

HB 1022 amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to clarify when licensed facilities (like childcare centers or care homes) can face license refusal, revocation, or penalties. It adds specific new violations that trigger these actions, including repeated breaches of children's rights, improper use of restraints, or failures in staff background checks and training. The bill also expands penalties to allow fines against facilities and mandates disciplinary action against staff responsible for violations. Facilities must receive written notice explaining the reason for any license denial, revocation, or penalty. The changes take effect 60 days after enactment.
