| | | Resolve, Directing the Department of Human Services To |
|
| | | Establish an Advisory Task Force to Examine Staff-child |
|
| | | Ratios and Maximum Group Size in Child Care Facilities |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts and resolves of the Legislature do | | not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless | | enacted as emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the early years of a child's development are critical; | | and |
|
| | | Whereas, the appropriate staff-child ratio and maximum group | | size in child care facilities are crucial to the development of | | young children; and |
|
| | | Whereas, this resolve establishes a task force to develop | | recommendations regarding staff-child ratios and maximum group | | size in child care facilities, leading to adoption of rules next | | year; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, be it |
|
| | | Sec. 1. Advisory task force established. Resolved: That the Department of | | Human Services shall establish an advisory task force to examine | | and make recommendations to the department regarding staff-child | | ratios and maximum group size in child care |
