The bill establishes that child care services are to be classified as a residential use of property and for residential purposes. This clarification aims to ensure that child care operations are recognized within residential zones, potentially easing restrictions that may have previously hindered such services in residential areas.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for an immediate effective date, a retroactive applicability date, and an applicability date, ensuring that the changes take effect promptly and can be applied to past situations as well. This legislative move is intended to support families and child care providers by affirming the legitimacy of child care as a residential activity.
