  The general assembly finds and declares that increasing numbers of children in Colorado are spending a significant portion of their day in care settings outside their own homes. In addition, some children are placed in facilities for residential care for their protection and well-being. The general assembly finds that regulation and licensing of child care facilities contribute to a safe and healthy environment for children. The provision of such environment affords benefits to children, their families, their communities, and the larger society. The general assembly acknowledges that there is a need to balance accessibility and quality of care when regulating child care facilities. It is the intent of the general assembly that those who regulate and those who are regulated work together to meet the needs of the children, their families, and the child care industry.    In balancing the needs of children and their families with the needs of the child care industry, the general assembly also recognizes the financial demands with which the department of human services is faced in its attempt to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for those children of the state of Colorado who are in child care facilities. In an effort to reduce the risk to children outside their homes while recognizing the financial constraints placed upon the department, it is the intent of the general assembly that the limited resources available be focused primarily on those child care facilities that have demonstrated that children in their care may be at higher risk pursuant to section 26-6-107.

The state department shall license substitute placement agencies to place or facilitate or arrange for the placement of short-term and long-term substitute child care providers in licensed facilities providing less than twenty-four-hour care.    The state board shall promulgate rules for substitute placement agencies and substitute child care providers.

Pursuant to section 26-6-107 (1)(a)(I)(C), each substitute child care provider shall pay for and submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history record check and a review of the records and reports of child abuse or neglect maintained by the state department to determine whether the substitute child care provider has been found to be responsible in a confirmed report of child abuse or neglect. When the results of a fingerprint-based criminal history record check or any other records check performed on a person pursuant to this subsection (2) reveal a record of arrest without a disposition, the state board shall require that person to submit to a name-based criminal history record check, as defined in section 22-2-119.3 (6)(d). The substitute placement agency shall not place a substitute child care provider who is convicted of any of the crimes specified in section 26-6-104 (7) or section 26-6-108.     History.

 The department, in the name of the people of the state of Colorado, through the attorney general of the state, must apply for an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any person from operating any facility without a license that is required to be licensed under this part 1. If the person does not have a valid license pursuant to this part 1, the person's license has been revoked pursuant to section 26-6-108 , or the person does not meet the licensing exemption criteria set forth in section 26-6-103 , yet provides child care, and has a pattern of providing such child care without a valid license as required by this part 1, and despite having received notification from the department that the person or facility is in violation of the law, then such person is providing unlicensed and illegal child care. At the time the department applies for an injunction, the department shall notify law enforcement of the injunction proceedings. If it is established that the defendant has been or is so operating such facility without a valid license, the court shall enter a decree enjoining the defendant from further operating the facility unless and until the person obtains a license therefor. In case of violation of any injunction issued pursuant to this section, the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court. Such injunctive proceedings are in addition to and not in lieu of the penalty provided in section 26-6-112 .   History. Source: L. 67: P. 1045, § 3. C.R.S. 1963: § 119-8-11.
