Among the actions allowed by the bill are significantly higher penalties for those who violate the law. In addition to passing the bill, the Oregon Legislature approved Brown’s request for nearly $2 million in funding to increase staff in the Early Learning Division to “address safety and quality issues, and to fund testing for lead in drinking water at small child care facilities,” said Brown. The additional staffing is an effort to reduce caseloads and allow for more coordination between the Early Learning Division and the Oregon Department of Human Services on instances of child abuse or neglect in child care facilities. “Oregon families deserve safe and high-quality child care regardless of where they live or who they choose to care for their children,” Brown said on Monday. “HB 4065 and the additional staffing funding will help provide the state with the tools and resources needed to protect our youngest Oregonians. “We know there is more work to do, and will continue to focus on improving Oregon’s system of early edu- cation and care.” l l A Mom g n i l l a s C Kitchen Klutter is asking for pictures of Mom for our Mothers Day event Saturday May 12 from 11-4.
