BILL NUMBER:S3601D
Title of bill
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to requiring certain day care centers to provide twelve months notice before it intends to close its facility
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow parents time to find a new day care center for their children and to give struggling centers time to reorganize.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 - Would amend the social services law by adding a new section 390-g. This section would require all municipally owned child day care centers located within a city of one million or more, to provide at least six months notice to the guardians of all children enrolled at such day care center, prior to closing its facility. Unless the child day care center violated the regulations of the office of children and family services, or for health and safety reasons; when a local social services district seeks to close a child day care center on an expedited basis for reasons of public safety, criminal behavior by the center, breach of contract with the social services district, suspension or revocation of the center's license for non-economic reasons, or unanticipated loss of facility by the center, provided such facility is not owned by a city having a population of one million or more.
Justification
This legislation will give parents sufficient time to find a new location for their children when the current center they utilize announces its impending closure. Parents need this time to evaluate different centers in their neighborhood to determine the most suitable location for their children. This bill will also give employees of a closing center adequate time to look for future employment and allow time for efforts to reorganize the troubled center.
