From the transcript
With this slide, safeguards and guardrails are really important to us. That's why we come to work every day is to do what we can to protect children's safety while they're away from their parents and in child care and to reduce predictable risk of harm So we do want to make sure that while we make proposals, the idea is to reduce duplication and modernize— excuse me— modernize code language with MOA oversight and enforcement fully in place. The licensed facilities will continue to be inspected, monitored, and subject to state and MOA licensing regulations. In addition, the providers must still comply with agency requirements outside agency requirements other than licensing to include zoning, fire, and food safety. And our proposals do not remove core health and safety protections.
