H.B. 5742: COMMITTEE SUMMARY SCHOOLS: CHILD CARE CENTERS
House Bill 5742 (as passed by the House) Sponsor: Representative William R. Bryant, Jr. House Committee: Education
Senate Committee: Education
Date Completed: 5-8-96
The bill would amend the Revised School Code to provide that, if a school district or intermediate school district (ISD) operated a child care center, then the center would be subject to the requirements of the child care licensing Act, except as otherwise provided in the bill.
A child care center established and operated by a school district or ISD would not be subject to any fire prevention or fire safety requirements under the child care licensing Act, if the center were located in a school building that was approved and inspected by the State Fire Marshal or other similar authority, as provided under Public Act 306 of 1937 (which regulates the construction, reconstruction and remodeling of public or private school buildings), for school purposes and complied with school fire safety rules, as determined by the State Fire Marshal or a fire inspector certified pursuant to the Fire Prevention Code.
Proposed MCL 380.1285a Legislative Analyst: L. Arasim
The bill would have no fiscal impact on State or local government. It would restore to the school code an exemption from State laws on fire safety requirements for child care organizations that otherwise will be repealed on July 1, 1996, the effective date of the Revised School Code.
