This bill establishes new requirements for day care facilities in Kansas regarding the health assessments of children enrolled in their care. It mandates that for each child under 10 years of age and each child under 16 years residing in the facility, a completed medical record must be maintained. This record must include the results of a health assessment conducted by qualified healthcare providers, such as physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, chiropractors, or licensed nurses, along with a medical history obtained from the child's parent or legal guardian. Additionally, the bill requires that at least once every 12 months, the day care provider must review the child's medical history with the parent or guardian.

The bill also defines key terms related to the health assessments, including "advanced practice registered nurse," "chiropractor," "day care facility," "nurse," "physician," and "physician assistant," ensuring clarity in the roles of healthcare providers involved in the assessments. This legislation aims to enhance the health and safety of children in day care settings by ensuring that their health records are properly maintained and regularly reviewed. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
