Summary

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), upon issuing an order to close a child care center pursuant to a determination that such center is being operated in a manner that may give rise to an imminent health hazard or otherwise presents a risk of endangering the health or safety of children or other persons, to post a copy of the closing order at the entrance to the child care center, and to provide a copy of the closing order to the parents or other persons who arrive at the child care center.
