What This Bill Does
- This bill generally provides, for actions arising on or after July 1, 2026, that an employer or host entity is not liable in a civil action for damages arising from the acts or omissions of a child care provider that is licensed under state law and provides child care services on property owned, leased, or otherwise made available by the employer or host entity.
- However, such immunity does not a pply if the employer's or host entity's gross negligence or willful misconduct is the proximate cause of the injury, harm, or loss.
- Additionally, such immunity does not apply if the employer or host entity (i) operates, controls, or manages the child car e provider; (ii) is licensed as a child care provider; or (iii) employs, supervises, or directs the child care provider's staff.
- This bill clarifies that the provision of space, utilities, maintenance, security, capital improvements, or financial support to a child care provider, standing alone, does not constitute operation, control, or management of the child care provider.
