SB 1068 - This act requires the Department of Health and Senior Services to provide child care facilities with a comprehensive list of unsafe children's products. A new Section 210.1007 is created and requires initial notification for facilities on or before July 1, 2003, and quarterly thereafter. The Department must provide a comprehensive list of children's products which have been identified as unsafe by the Children's Product Safety Commission.
Upon notification, a facility must inspect its premises and
immediately dispose of any unsafe products. The inspection must
be documented by signing and dating the notification form and
maintaining the form in the facility's files. During regular
inspections, the department must document the facility's
notification forms. If the Department discovers an unsafe
product, the facility must be instructed to dispose of it
immediately. If a facility fails to dispose of a product after
notice is given, it will be a violation under the inspection.
The Department may promulgate rules for the implementation of
this section.
