The bill amends Section 45-24-30 of the General Laws concerning zoning ordinances, introducing new provisions aimed at regulating the operation of family child care homes. Specifically, it establishes that no city or town shall restrict or limit the number of children provided services and care by a licensed family child care home provider to fewer than twelve (12) children at a time. This provision is designed to standardize the zoning requirements for family child care homes across the state, ensuring that providers can serve a minimum number of children without local restrictions.

The act will take effect upon passage.
