Amend the amendment in section 1 in §8308 by inserting after subsection 6 the following:
‘ 7. Exception for certain providers. Any family child care provider who is a member, as of May 1, 2008, of an active regional or local family child care provider association incorporated as a nonprofit corporation with the Secretary of State may elect, but is not required, to become a member of the collective bargaining agent, or pay service fees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.’
summary
This amendment grandfathers the membership, as of May 1, 2008, of an active regional or local family child care provider association incorporated as a nonprofit corporation with the Secretary of State. This grandfathered status allows but does not require the local association members to elect to become a member of the collective bargaining agent or to pay service fees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
