 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision 1 of section 390 of
 2 the social services law, as amended by chapter 117 of the laws of 2010,
 3 are amended to read as follows:
 4 (d) "Group family day care home" shall mean a program caring for chil-
 5 dren for more than three hours per day per child in which child day care
 6 is provided in a family home for seven to twelve children of all ages,
 7 except for those programs operating as a family day care home, as such
 8 term is defined in paragraph (e) of this subdivision, which care for
 9 seven or eight children. A group family day care provider may provide
 10 child day care services to four additional children if such additional
 11 children are of school age and such children receive services only
 12 before or after the period such children are ordinarily in school or
 13 during school lunch periods, or school holidays, or during those periods
 14 of the year in which school is not in session. There shall be one care-
 15 giver for every two children under [two years] eighteen months of age in

 18 provided to seven or more children when none of the children are school
 19 age, or nine or more children when at least two of the children are
 20 school age and such children receive services only before or after the
 21 period such children are ordinarily in school or during school lunch
 22 periods, or school holidays, or during those periods of the year in
 23 which school is not in session. This assistant shall be selected by the
 24 group family day care operator and shall meet the qualifications estab-
 25 lished for such position by the regulations of the office of children
 26 and family services.
