Summary

Immunization rates and handwashing policy, shared only if facilities feel like it. No duty, no penalty.

The bill says a child-care facility may share the percentage of its children who are immunized under state law, the percentage of its adult staff who follow the federal adult vaccine schedule, and its handwashing policy. It touches licensed child-care facilities and the parents who use them. Nothing changes on the ground, because sharing this information is optional and the bill sets no duty, deadline or penalty.
