The proposed bill aims to prohibit private entities, such as homeowners associations, from restricting homeowners' ability to provide child care services under a licensed family and group family child care provider license. New legal language is introduced in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 500, specifically under section [500.217], which states that no private entity can refuse to allow a dwelling owner to operate a licensed child care service, regardless of any existing covenants or restrictions in deeds or homeowners association documents. The bill also defines key terms, including "private entity" and "homeowners association document," to clarify the scope of the prohibition.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes, specifically sections 515B.2-103 and 515B.3-102, to include references to the new section [500.217]. The amendments ensure that the declaration and bylaws of homeowners associations must comply with the new child care restrictions, thereby reinforcing the rights of homeowners to provide child care services without facing undue limitations from their associations. This legislative change is intended to support families and enhance access to child care options within residential communities.
