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 in relation to licensed child care centers, certified license-exempt child care centers, licensed family child care programs, and legal nonlicensed child care providers. The amendment includes various categories of individuals, such as employees, volunteers, and household members, who may have unsupervised access to children in these settings.

Additionally, the bill specifies conditions under which certain individuals providing services outside of the child care program are exempt from background study requirements. Notably, it corrects cross-references by replacing references to chapter 119B with chapter 142E in multiple instances. This change ensures that the legal language accurately reflects the current regulatory framework governing child care services in Minnesota.
