Summary

This bill would require the Office of Child care and Early Childhood Education Care (“Office”), in consultation with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Department of Buildings, and the Fire Department of the City of New York to conduct a study on the processes for obtaining permits and licenses or registrations to operate a child care program in New York City. The Office would then submit a report on such study that would identify the steps to obtain a permit from DOHMH and identify the support from the City for child care providers to obtain a license or registration from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. The report would also describe challenges experienced by child care providers in obtaining the permits and licenses or registrations, if any, and provide recommendations for improving the City processes to obtain a permit and license or registration.
