Extending the effective date of licensing living accommodations for residential private schools.

SB 5506 postpones deadlines related to the licensing and oversight of living accommodations within residential private schools. Specifically, it extends the effective date for certain licensing requirements for these schools from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026. The bill also pushes back the deadlines for the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to submit progress and final reports on this licensing process to the legislature by one year. This provides additional time for the department to report on and for the licensing requirements to take effect.
