Child Care Provider Food Preparation Amendments

Added an effective date of May 6, 2026, specifying when the new rules take effect.

Updated the Senate Sponsor name from 'LONG TITLE' to 'Heidi Balderree'.

Enacted a new Section 26B-7-417 specifically for child care food preparation kitchens instead of amending existing sections.

Mandated that the Department of Health and Human Services collaborate with child care provider associations to create rules for these kitchens.

Established that exemptions for these kitchens must be based on food volume and type rather than the number of children served.

Created specific exemptions for exempt kitchens, removing the requirement for a certified food safety manager if all staff have permits, and allowing fewer sinks or less commercial-grade equipment.

Added specific definitions for 'child care food preparation kitchen,' 'exempt kitchen,' and 'child care provider association'.
