2009 House Bill 5514 ↩

House Roll Call 514: Passed

To exempt “babysitting services" from state licensure mandates. This is defined as “temporarily caring for a child on behalf of the child's parent or guardian where the annual compensation is less than $600," or an amount that would trigger IRS payroll deduction mandates. The bill was introduced after the state Department of Human Services made national headlines for seeking to prosecute for not having a license an individual who kept on eye on her neighbors children while they were waiting for the school bus.
