   WHAT'S NEW?

  • The Bureau of Child Care Licensing has filed proposed corrections to three administrative rules. The rules are:

         · R430-6 Background Screening. The proposed change clarifies that not all misdemeanor convictions for driving under the influence would result in a background screening denial.

        · R430-8 Exemptions from Licensing. The proposed change clarifies that a voluntary license is available for license exempt programs, and that a license is not required if care is only ever offered one or two days per week.

        · R430-70 Out of School Time Programs. The proposed changes are in response to public comments received. They include proposed changes regarding the number of sinks and toilets required in programs.
    These proposed changes will be open for public comment from November 15th through December 15th. To view the full text of the proposed rules, go to: http://www.rules.utah.gov/ and click on "Proposed Rules." Once on the Proposed Rules page, scroll down to "Utah State Bulletin Issues." The proposed corrections will be in Vol. 2009, No. 22.

  • The Bureau is now required by the state legislature to implement a $25 fee for noncompliant facilities. Effective July 1, 2009, this fee is charged as follows:

         1. Each provider will have one follow-up inspection (if needed) after their Announced and Unannounced Inspections, and one follow-up inspection (if needed) after each Complaint Investigation. If additional follow-up inspections are needed because noncompliance was found on the first follow-up inspection, the provider will be charged $25 for each additional follow-up inspection that is needed.

        2. If you are issued a conditional license or certificate for noncompliance to the rules, there will be a $25 charge for each monitoring inspection that takes place during the period of the conditional license or certificate.

    If you have any questions regarding this fee, please click here to contact your regional Licensing office.

  • Due to a conflict with an early childhood meeting at the Governor's Office, our November Child Care Licensing Advisory Committee meeting needs to be moved back one week. This means the meeting will be held:
        Thursday, November 19th
        9:30 am -- Noon

    The meeting location will be:
        Utah State Library for the Blind
        250 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City,
        Multipurpose room (which is also room 227)

    To get to this building, head west on North Temple Street and go west through the light at Redwood Road (1700 West). Turn right at the next light, which is 1950 West. The State Library is the building that is at the end of this road. Please park on the east side (Suite B) as the other side is for employees and patrons of the blind library only.

  • The Child Care Licensing Advisory Committee has formed a subcommittee to recommend possible quality criteria for use in a voluntary rated license program in Utah. For anyone who would like to be involved or has questions please contact:

  • In the 2008 session the Utah State Legislature passed a new law that now requires the Department of Health to verify the lawful presence in the United States of any individual to whom a new or renewal child care license or certificate is issued.
