The proposed rules went into effect September 1, 2020. These rules can be found on the Rules and Requirements page.

As passed in H.B. 8 in the 2020 General Legislative Session, the New and Renewal Licensing Fee increase is from $31 to $62. As passed in S.B. 5001 in the 2020 Fifth General Legislative Session, the Background Check Fee increase is from $18 to $20. Due to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or the "CARES Act" (Public Law 116-136), the background check fee will continue to be waived until further notice.

It's more important than ever to properly and safely clean and disinfect surfaces in your facility. The Utah APPLEETREE Program and the Utah Department of Health created a Safe Cleaning and Disinfecting Webinar and Safe Cleaning and Disinfecting Document with information to help you with this important task.

We are now in Phase 3 of our health and recovery plan. Child care providers are to adhere to the conditions outlined in the Phase 3 Emergency Conditions Provider Letter or Carta Para Los Proveedores, Fase 3, Condiciones Temporales de Emergencia. Child care providers are welcome to post or distribute the Parent Letter or the Carta Para Los Padres so parents are aware of these emergency conditions. For more information, you can listen to the CCL Phase 3 Webinar.

For now, the $20 background check fee is not required. Fingerprints and the $33.25 fingerprint processing fee are required.

We have Recommendations from Child Care Licensing About Face Masks for Utah Child Care. Please read this document and feel free to share it.
