Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Child Care Act of 1969. Provides that "day care homes" means family homes which receive more than 3 and up to a maximum of 14 children (instead of 12) for less than 24 hours per day.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
225 ILCS 10/2.18
Adds reference to:
225 ILCS 10/7from Ch. 23, par. 2217

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Child Care Act of 1969. Directs the Department of Children and Family Services to amend its rules establishing licensing standards for group day care homes to provide a revised maximum authorized extended capacity for group day care homes that is applicable through July 1, 2025. Provides that the revised maximum extended capacity rules adopted by the Department shall, at a minimum, allow one caregiver and 2 assistants to have the option of caring for 2 additional children who are 30 months of age or older, as well as 2 additional children who are attending school full-time, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act. Requires the revised rules not only to provide that the second full-time assistant shall be present at all times when there are more than 12 children in the home, but also to prohibit the total capacity of the group day care home from exceeding 16 children. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that as soon as practical after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Department of Children and Family Services shall amend its rules establishing licensing standards for group day care homes to provide a revised maximum authorized extended capacity for group day care homes that is applicable through July 1, 2024 (rather than July 1, 2025).
