2019 - 2020 LEGISLATURE
March 2, 2020 - Introduced by Representatives Stuck and Neylon. Referred to
Committee on Regulatory Licensing Reform.
AB991,1,3 1An Act relating to: an exception to child care center licensing requirements for
2care and supervision provided while a parent participates in a coworking space
3on the premises.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person may for compensation provide care and
supervision for four or more children under the age of seven for less than 24 hours
a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the
Department of Children and Families. To be licensed, current law requires a person
to meet the minimum requirements established by DCF. However, rules
promulgated by DCF specify that these requirements do not apply to care and
supervision provided for no more than three hours a day while a child's parent is
employed on the premise. This bill expands this exception to cover if the child's
parent is participating in a coworking space on the premises. Under the bill, a
coworking space is an arrangement under which participants share office space and
common infrastructure within a facility but not a common employer. The bill also
provides that, under the exception, one day per week a child may receive care and
supervision for no more than 5 hours as long as the total number of hours of care and
supervision received in one week does not exceed 15.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
