STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27816 / H0549
This legislation amends and updates Idaho daycare licensing statutes 39-1105, 39-1106, 39-1110, and 39-1113
to align with Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) standards. Specifically this legislation: reduces redundant
and/or obsolete language regarding criminal background check requirements for daycare owners and
employees, adds three criminal offenses with an additional appeal process in the event of denial, suspension
or revocation, and updates health standards to include infant safe sleep practices.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no known direct impact to the general fund from the changes in this legislation. There are unknown
costs associated with the included option of the administrative appeals process. Licensees appealing a denial,
suspension, or revocation through the administrative appeals process rather than the district court could increase
the agency work burden and require additional staff and/or operating costs in the future.
