The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 245C.02, subdivision 6a, to clarify the definition of a "child care background study subject." It outlines the individuals who are considered subjects of a background study, including employees, volunteers, and individuals living in the household of a licensed child care provider. The amendment also specifies conditions under which certain individuals providing services outside of the child care program are exempt from undergoing a background study, provided they meet specific criteria, such as obtaining written permission from a parent.

Additionally, the bill corrects cross-references in the statute by replacing references to chapter 119B with chapter 142E, ensuring that the legal language accurately reflects the current regulatory framework for child care providers. This change aims to streamline the process and clarify the requirements for background studies in relation to child care services.
