IMHO Idaho: Day Care Regs ‘Onerous’

Rep. George Sayler (D-Coeur d’Alene), who survived a stiff challenge from conservative Republican Jim Hollingsworth in November, is back with his annual attempt to further push the nose of nanny government into Idaho’s daycare system. His bill (S1112) would require every daycare center which cares for at least four unrelated children to submit to onerous requirements for staff-child ratios, facility regulations and criminal background checks. It will necessitate an expanded taxpayer-funded bureaucracy to perform all the inspections and record-keeping that the bill will require. There is little to no evidence that increased regulation of daycare centers does much to protect child health and safety/ Bryan Fischer , Idaho Values Alliance. More here .

Question: Do you agree with the Idaho Values Alliance that day-care regulations proposed by state Rep. George Sayler, R-CDA, are onerous?
