Eliminate Duplicative Regulation of School Child Care Centers
The act allows child care centers for school-age children operated on school district, district charter school, or institute charter school property to satisfy requirements for staff training or minimum square footage of floor space per child by providing to the Colorado department of early childhood (CDEC) documented evidence of compliance with substantially similar requirements imposed by the Colorado department of education (CDE) unless CDE's requirements do not meet federal grants-in-aid requirements, in which case, CDEC shall require the child centers to meet federal grants-in-aid requirements. The act adds a public health agency to the list of entities that CDEC shall accept certification from as satisfactory proof of valid certification of a playground facility. The act directs CDEC to review the process regarding materials waivers and the process for undue hardship appeals at least annually.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
