Operative words

hereby temporarily suspends the licensure requirements related to inspections and staff training, and certain operating requirements for early childhood services as defined in North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) Chapter 50-11.1... The Department of Human Services has established Modified Operating Procedures that must be followed by all participating self-declared and licensed child care providers operating during the COVID-19 pandemic... the Modified Operating Procedures require the participating child care centers to adopt practices that include, without limitation, social distancing practices, standards relating to hygiene and sanitation, congregate meals and group gatherings, and staffing adjustments necessitated by the revised standards and daily health screenings of children and adults upon entering the child care location

Enforcement

Condition of participation in the child care emergency operations grant program; suspension of rules

Notes

North Dakota did not close child care; it re-regulated it. Recital: 'child care services are necessary to support and maintain an essential critical infrastructure workforce'.

Retrieval note

Not re-saved. The verb is 'must be followed'.
