The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 142B.05, subdivision 2, to exempt an unrelated individual providing child care to two separate families from the requirement of licensure. Previously, the law allowed nonresidential programs provided by an unrelated individual only to a single related family. The new language specifies that nonresidential programs can now be offered to two separate families, provided that the individuals in each family are related.

This change aims to broaden the scope of child care options available to families while maintaining certain regulatory standards. The bill retains various exclusions from licensure for other types of child care programs, ensuring that specific guidelines and protections remain in place for different child care settings.
