House Bill 4059 filed by State Representative Jackie Haas unanimously passed the Illinois House last week.  Haas said this legislation is the first step in addressing the critical shortage of licensed daycare providers in the state of Illinois.  She also said House Bill 4059 will ensure there is access to programs statewide by requiring the Department of Children and Family Services, or any State agency that assumes daycare licensing responsibilities, to host licensing orientation programs at least twice annually in each representative district in the State.
