Subcommittee OKs amendment requiring DCS to publish searchable childcare provider list
Summary
The subcommittee adopted an amendment requiring the Department of Children's Services to create a web-based, ZIP-code-searchable list of licensed and approved childcare agencies by July 1, 2027, then voted unanimously to send House Bill 23-49, as amended, to full judiciary.
The committee adopted amendment 15638 to House Bill 23-49 and unanimously moved the bill, as amended, to the full Judiciary Committee.
The amendment requires the Department of Children's Services "on or before 07/01/2027 to establish a web based system through which members of the public may obtain a list of all licensed and approved childcare agencies searchable by a zip code." Committee members had no questions during the amendment explanation, and the clerk recorded a 6-0 vote.
The change would create a publicly searchable listing intended to help families locate licensed childcare providers; the bill now proceeds to Judiciary for further consideration.
