AB263,1,3
1An Act to amend 48.65 (1) of the statutes;
relating to: requiring a person who
2provides care for children without compensation to obtain a child care center
3license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person, for compensation, may provide care and
supervision for four or more children under the age of seven for less than 24 hours
a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the
Department of Children and Families. This bill prohibits a person from providing
care or supervision for four or more children under the age of seven for less than 24
hours a day without a child care center license regardless of whether the person does
so for compensation or not.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB263,1
