1. The early childhood services advisory board is composed of seven members
appointed by the commissioner of the department. The members of the board must
include a broad-based geographically distributed membership. The term of office is
four years expiring on July thirty-first with no more than two terms expiring in any one
year. A vacancy occurring other than by reason of the expiration of a term must be
filled in the same manner as the original appointment, except that the appointment
may be made for only the remainder of the unexpired term. The members are entitled
to be paid for mileage and expenses incurred in attending meetings and in
performance of their official duties in amounts provided by law for other state officers
and employees. A member also is entitled to be reimbursed up to two hundred dollars
per day for the expenses incurred by the member which relate to the hiring of a
substitute provider or staff in order that the member may attend meetings and perform
the member's official duties.
2. The early childhood services advisory board shall:
a. Advise the department each time the department reviews early childhood
services rules;
b. Upon the completion of the department's review, with the assistance of the
department, conduct an analysis of and make recommendations to the
department regarding the department's review of the early childhood services
rules, however, final approval of any administrative rule changes must be
completed through the administrative rulemaking process set forth in chapter
28-32; and
c. On an ongoing basis, make recommendations to the department regarding
changes and revisions to the early childhood services rules. The
recommendations, the goal of which is to streamline and improve the quality of
the early childhood services process, must seek to balance the need for rules that
ensure safe quality child care with the need to revise or eliminate rules that create
unnecessary barriers for providers.
