House Bill 5514 (Substitute H-2 as passed by the House)
Sponsor: Representative Brian Calley
House Committee: Families and Children's Services
Senate Committee: Families and Human Services
Date Completed: 11-10-09
CONTENT
The bill would amend the child care licensing Act to specify that a family child care home would not include an individual providing babysitting services for another individual.
"Providing babysitting services" would mean caring for a child on behalf of the child's parent or guardian for annual compensation that was less than $600 or was less than an amount that, according to the Internal Revenue Service, would obligate the parent or guardian to provide a Form 1099-MISC to the individual for compensation paid during the year for those services.
"Family child care home" currently means a private home in which at least one but fewer than seven minor children are received for care and supervision for less than 24 hours a day, unattended by a parent or legal guardian, except children related to an adult member of the family by blood, marriage, or adoption.
Under the bill, a home would qualify as a family child care home if the children were received for care and supervision "for compensation".
