House File 2305 laid over to extend posted licensing maltreatment findings from five to 10 years
Summary
House File 2305, which would extend posted maltreatment findings from five to ten years, was laid over for further consideration in the omnibus process.
Chair West presented House File 2305 and asked the committee to lay it over for possible inclusion in an omnibus bill.
The proposal would extend the period that a licensing lookup site must display maltreatment findings from five years to 10 years when a maltreatment determination has been made in an investigation of a licensed provider. Chair West said the bill grew out of meetings with families and described an instance in which a child suffered brain injury in a family‑care setting; the sponsor said families wanted longer public disclosure of serious maltreatment findings.
Members did not take public testimony on the measure during the hearing. Representative Nadeau asked procedural questions but ultimately withdrew his preliminary comments. Chair West said the bill is intended to elevate maltreatment transparency while other licensing reforms seek to reduce published citations for non‑safety technical issues.
Ending: The committee laid House File 2305 over for possible inclusion in an omnibus bill and signaled intent to continue discussions about transparency and regulatory burden on providers.
