HB 1534 -- Investigations of Unlicensed Child Care Providers

Sponsor:  Fischer (107)

This bill establishes Sam Pratt's Law which authorizes the
Department of Health and Senior Services to investigate and
prohibit an unlicensed child care provider from continuing to
provide child care services if there are criminal charges pending
against him or her that would similarly result in licensure
sanctions for a licensed child care provider.  Any unlicensed
child care provider who continues to provide services after
notification by the department to cease will be guilty of a class
B misdemeanor for the first violation and a class A misdemeanor
for any subsequent violation.  The department must report any
violation to the appropriate prosecuting attorney's office or law
enforcement agency.
