SB 26-50

Senate Bill 26-50 requires child care centers in Colorado to inform parents about certain policies. Specifically, they must tell parents that staff are required by law to report any suspected child abuse or neglect. If the center uses video cameras, it also needs to explain where these cameras are and how footage is used and stored. This bill has been signed into law, so child care centers now have to follow these rules when communicating with parents.
