This bill mandates the commissioner of children, youth, and families to amend existing rules regarding teacher's aides in child care centers. Specifically, it requires the commissioner to make a temporary exception established in previous legislation (Laws 2023, chapter 70, article 8, section 63) a permanent rule. The bill allows the commissioner to utilize a streamlined rulemaking process under Minnesota Statutes, section 14.388, subdivision 1, clause (3), bypassing certain requirements typically needed for good cause exempt rulemaking. Additionally, it specifies that Minnesota Statutes, section 14.386, will not apply to these amendments, except as outlined in section 14.388. The commissioner is tasked with submitting a proposed rule by June 1, 2025.

The bill also includes an effective date provision, stating that the new section will take effect the day after the final enactment of the bill. This legislative change aims to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding child care staffing, particularly focusing on the role of teacher's aides.
