They include removing obsolete definitions, while adding and clarifying other definitions for terms necessary for the rule; streamlining and clarifying requirements for license applications; clarifying the Department's inspection and investigation procedures of licensed family child care providers; unifying and streamlining record-keeping requirements into one section; changing staff/child ratios, by allowing family child care providers to exclude their own children from the staff/child ratio calculation; reframing the order and language of the rule to more clearly describe provider licensing responsibilities; clarifying requirements for providers caring for children in swimming and wading settings; and increasing transparency in the enforcement process, by more clearly describing each step involved. The Department eliminated requirements for personal references, allowed providers to count first aid and CPR training in annual training hours required, eliminated the provisional license, reduced the number of fire drills required, and eliminated the drafting of specific policies that extended beyond baseline health and safety requirements.
