The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 142B.16, subdivision 2, to modify the requirements for correction orders related to child care licensing. It allows applicants or license holders to request a reconsideration of correction orders they believe to be in error, requiring a written request to be submitted within 20 calendar days. The request must specify the alleged errors, provide explanations, and include supporting documentation. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that the commissioner's disposition of the reconsideration request must be made in writing within 90 calendar days, or 45 days for expedited reviews, and clarifies that this decision is final and not subject to appeal.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that a family child care provider can request an expedited review if they can demonstrate that complying with the corrective action would require significant expenditure or changes to their program. It also stipulates that correction orders for licensed child care centers or family child care providers will not be publicly posted on the department's website until after the 20-day reconsideration request period or after the commissioner's decision on the request has been communicated to the applicant or license holder.
