MI SB0885

Adds exception to child care licensing requirement allowing employers, school districts, and nonpublic schools to establish and operate "disaster relief child care centers" without a license during declared COVID-19 emergency (until June 1, 2020 or end of emergency, whichever is later).

Disaster relief child care centers must follow department rules including safe sleep guidelines, diapering/handwashing standards, health evaluations at entry, and parent communication about medications and allergies.

Permits school districts and nonpublic schools to use closed school buildings for disaster relief child care with staff including teachers, student teachers, and early childhood workers; student teachers' hours may count toward teacher preparation requirements.

Prohibits school districts from requiring employees to work in disaster relief centers if they have confirmed COVID-19, display symptoms, are 60+ years old, have underlying health conditions, or had contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases in past 14 days.

Modifies provisional licensing rules to allow issuance without requiring acceptable deficiency correction plan during COVID-19 emergency, with flexible expiration dates of 1-6 months and renewal at department discretion.
