The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act
The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act, does NOT require daycare providers to carry liability insurance, however it adds important criteria that states must meet in order to receive federal Child Care & Development Block Grants.
1. Recommends to day care providers that they carry liability insurance.
2. Requires day care providers to post publicly and conspicuously whether they have liability insurance; give written notice to parents about whether or not they have liability insurance; get a signature by at least one parent per child on this notice; and maintain the signed notice while the child receives care, and for one year thereafter.
This may one of the most important laws ever implemented in effort to protect children while in the hands of child day care providers.
