INSURANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR FAMILY DAY HOMES; CIVIL PENALTY (§
22.1-289.050)

A. Any person who operates a family day home approved by a licensed family day
system, a licensed family day home, or a voluntarily registered family day home
shall furnish a written notice to the parent or guardian of each child under the
care of the family day home, which states whether there is liability insurance
in force to cover the operation of the family day home, provided that no person
under this section shall state that liability insurance is in place to cover the
operation of the family day home, unless there is a minimum amount of coverage
as established by the Department.

B. Each parent or guardian shall acknowledge, in writing, receipt of such
notice. In the event there is no longer insurance coverage, the person operating
the family day home shall (i) notify each parent or guardian within 10 business
days after the effective date of the change and (ii) obtain written
acknowledgment of such notice. A copy of an acknowledgment required under this
section shall be maintained on file at the family day home at all times while
the child attends the family day home and for 12 months after the child&#8217;s
last date of attendance.

C. Any person who fails to give any notice required under this section shall be
subject to a civil penalty of up to $500 for each such failure.
