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 a correction order they believe contains errors. This request must be made in writing within 20 calendar days of receiving the order and must specify the alleged errors, provide explanations, and include supporting documentation. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that the commissioner's decision on 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 includes new provisions regarding the public posting of correction orders. It stipulates that correction orders for licensed child care centers or family child care providers cannot be publicly posted on the department's website until either the 20-calendar-day period for requesting reconsideration has passed or, if a reconsideration request was made, until the commissioner has provided their decision on that request. This aims to protect the interests of child care providers while ensuring that the health and safety of children in care are prioritized.
