 9049

 IN SENATE

 January 27, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. ROLISON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Children and Families

 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to staffing flexi-
 bility for licensed child day care programs during workforce short-
 ages, clarification of director staffing roles, and modification of
 infant age definitions

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that in
 2 response to ongoing child care workforce shortages that continue to
 3 reduce availability and affordability for working families across New
 4 York state. The goal of this bill is to preserve licensed child care
 5 capacity through limited, targeted statutory changes that emphasize
 6 child safety while preventing unnecessary closures, reduced enrollment,
 7 and punitive enforcement actions for non-safety-related staffing issues.
 8 § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 390 of the social services law is
 9 amended by adding a new paragraph (h) to read as follows:
 10 (h) "Director, operator, or program administrator" means any individ-
 11 ual who has primary responsibility for the administration, oversight,
 12 and management of a child day care program, including but not limited
 13 to:
 14 (i) a director or administrator responsible for the day-to-day oper-
 15 ations of a child day care center, family day care home, group family
 16 day care home, or school-age child care program;
 17 (ii) an operator who holds the license or registration for the facili-
 18 ty or program; or
 19 (iii) any individual designated by the licensee and authorized under
 20 regulations of the office of children and family services to perform
 21 administrative or supervisory duties.
 22 § 3. Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subdivision 1 of section 390 of the
 23 social services law, as amended by chapter 117 of the laws of 2010, are
 24 amended to read as follows:
 25 (d) "Group family day care home" shall mean a program caring for chil-
 26 dren for more than three hours per day per child in which child day care

 S. 9049 2

 1 is provided in a family home for seven to twelve children of all ages,
 2 except for those programs operating as a family day care home, as such
 3 term is defined in paragraph (e) of this subdivision, which care for
 4 seven or eight children. A group family day care provider may provide
 5 child day care services to four additional children if such additional
 6 children are of school age and such children receive services only
 7 before or after the period such children are ordinarily in school or
 8 during school lunch periods, or school holidays, or during those periods
 9 of the year in which school is not in session. There shall be one care-
 10 giver for every two children under [two years] eighteen months of age in
 11 the group family home. A group family day care home must have at least
 12 one assistant to the operator present when child day care is being
 13 provided to seven or more children when none of the children are school
 14 age, or nine or more children when at least two of the children are
 15 school age and such
