This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to enhance transparency in child care licensing by requiring that certain licensing actions be publicly posted for an extended period. Specifically, it mandates that when a conditional license or any order of license suspension, temporary immediate suspension, fine, or revocation is issued, the license holder must post these orders in a conspicuous location for ten years if they are accompanied by a maltreatment investigation memorandum. Previously, the posting requirement was only for two years.

The amendments apply to licensed family child care providers and child care centers, ensuring that both the licensing orders and the accompanying investigation memoranda are visible to individuals receiving services and visitors to the facility. This change aims to improve accountability and inform the public about the licensing status of child care providers, thereby enhancing the safety and welfare of children in these settings.
