Summary Explanation/Background
During the implementation of a major revision of the child care licensing provisions in December 2023, Consumer Protection Division staff identified a number of minor items that either merit modification or that should have been, but were not, addressed in the rewrite. At its June 4, 2024; meeting, the Board directed the County Attorney’s Office (“CAO”) to address the identified matters. The CAO has drafted the Ordinance as directed.
