SCHOOL-BASED CHILD CARE - H.B. 4619 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS


House Bill 4619 (Substitute S-2 as reported)

Sponsor: Representative Joanne Voorhees

House Committee: Education

Senate Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services


CONTENT


The bill would amend the child care licensing Act to exempt from the definition of "child care center" or "day care center", beginning July 2, 2002, a facility or program for school-age children that was operated at school by a public school or by a person or entity with whom a public school contracted for services, in accordance with provisions of the Revised School Code proposed by House Bill 4617.


House Bills 4617 and 4619 are tie-barred.


MCL 722.111 - Legislative Analyst: S. Lowe


FISCAL IMPACT


The bill would eliminate the licensure of before- and after-school programs administered by a public school or by a contractor for the public school. There are approximately 800 of these programs currently. This change would result in a loss of fee revenue but also would result in a decrease of responsibility for the Department of Consumer and Industry Services. Therefore, there would be no net fiscal impact.
