This bill amends the Arkansas Code regarding daycare centers that are exempt from the definition of "food service establishment." Specifically, it increases the number of persons that a daycare center can serve while still maintaining this exemption. The current limit of ten (10) persons is changed to twelve (12) persons.
By allowing daycare centers to serve up to twelve individuals, the bill aims to enhance the capacity of these facilities, potentially benefiting more families in the community. This change reflects a recognition of the growing demand for childcare services and seeks to provide greater flexibility for daycare providers.
