Summary

The draft stipulates that starting from September 1, 2025, the reimposition of the activity license obligation for childcare centers that provide catering services and for businesses that provide catering services to childcare centers will be waived. According to the explanations, since 2021, child care service providers have not had the obligation to apply for an activity license from the Agriculture and Food Board if they are engaged in catering. However, it will enter into force on September 1 of this year the Act to amend the Act on Early Childhood Education and other related laws, which would re-establish the obligation to apply for a permit for daycare centers. The Rural Affairs Committee is of the opinion that the process of applying for a separate permit leads to an excessive administrative burden both for the institutions providing childcare services and for the Agriculture and Food Board, which processes permits. This is especially so in a situation where they have the same childcare facilities or businesses that provide them with catering services currently already obliged to inform the PTA about its economic activities, including the provision of food for children.
