Over the summer, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules suspended a DCFS rule limiting how long day care assistants can monitor rooms of children under 2 years old.
Note that this epic beatdown of DCFS came from two Republicans (Rezin and Reick) AND two Democrats (Castro and Tarver), one Hispanic and the other Black. This issue of child care staffing shortages really does cut across social, racial/ethnic, geographical (Chicago, suburbs, downstate), and other lines in a way not all issues seem to do.
