The Idaho House of Representatives widely passed a bill to let child care centers set their own child-to-staff ratios. Aimed at addressing Idaho’s child care crisis by easing the process to operate child care centers, House Bill 243 is co-sponsored by Idaho Republican House lawmakers Reps. Barbara Ehardt, from Idaho Falls, and Rod Furniss, from Rigby. The bill would repeal age-based child-to-staff ratios for child care facilities in Idaho law.
