The bill proposes new regulations regarding access to child care center facilities in Minnesota, specifically targeting federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security and related agencies. Under the new law, these agents are required to present valid identification, a written statement of purpose, and a valid judicial warrant before being allowed entry into a licensed child care center or certified license-exempt child care center. Furthermore, even if these requirements are met, access must be limited to areas where children are not present, ensuring the safety and privacy of the children in care.
The new legal language is codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 142B, specifically section 142B.665, which outlines these access limitations. The bill is set to take effect the day following its final enactment, emphasizing the urgency of implementing these protective measures for child care facilities.
