Child Care Services Must Provide More Information by Spencer Maccoll, Jul 1, 2008 (7:01pm)

H.R. 1473, the Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act, makes it mandatory that a licensed child care business must let the customers know whether or not they have liability insurance. This is important because if a child gets injured, the business must be able to pay for lawsuits against them. And if customers are aware of whether or not a child care business has liability insurance the customers can make a better, more informed decision of which business to trust their kids with.
