BILL NUMBER:S7192
Title of bill
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to creating the child care regulatory review task force
Purpose
This bill establishes the Child Care Regulatory Review Task Force to review duplicative or unnecessary requirements that are an administrative burden for child care providers.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends the Social Services Law by adding a new Section 390-j. This section creates the Child Care Regulatory Review Task Force. The Task Force shall review the statutory and regulatory requirements for child care providers which are duplicative or unnecessary and create administrative burdens. To obtain testimony the Task Force shall hold at least one public hearing. The Task Force shall develop and propose recommendations for streamlining current processes and requirements which are identified as duplicative and burdensome.
The members of the Task Force shall include: the Commissioner of the Office of Children and Family Services, the Commissioner of the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, the Commissioner of the Department of Health, and the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Section 2 provides the effective date.
Justification
Child care providers must maintain compliance with many federal and state requirements. However, some of these requirements are redundant or unnecessary. Such requirements have the provider performing the same task, such as submitting similar paperwork, for multiple agencies. This is time consuming, costly, and an inefficient use of resources. Such requirements create an administrative burden for providers that does not have a useful purpose. Therefore, maintaining such requirements is no longer necessary.
This bill seeks to remove the duplicative and unnecessary requirements on child care providers by establishing the Child Care Regulatory Review Task Force to review the statutory and regulatory requirements for child care providers. This Task Force will propose and develop recommendations to streamline current processes and requirements that are identified as being duplicative or unnecessary. By developing such recommendations, this Task Force will relieve some of the unnecessary and redundant requirements providers face. Doing so will allow providers to focus on their primary responsibility of caring for children. In particular, this Task Force will benefit small providers who do not have the financial or personnel resources to meet such duplicative or unnecessary administrative burdens.
