Title of bill
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to mandatory screening of applicants for a license or registration to provide child day care and to mandatory screening of personnel of child day care providers
Purpose/summary of provisions
This bill is designed to prevent further abuses which some children have endured in the current child care system. The first two provisions in this bill add a list of specific felony violations for which both child day care providers and their personnel can have their licenses either suspended and/or revoked. The additional provisions of this bill outlining the procedure and elements of the mandatory screening and gives the circumstances under which the license or registration may be denied, suspended, or revoked.
Justification
Over the past few years there have been an increasing number of reports of horrible violations against children (both physical and mental) in the child day care system. Situations, such as the one at the Mrs. Roger's Neighborhood Day-Care Center in 1992, would be prevented through enactment of this bill.
