What does Chapter 402, F.S. specifically govern?

Chapter 402 of the Florida Statutes primarily governs the regulation of health and human services, which includes various aspects of public health, child welfare, and social services. The chapter provides a framework for establishing standards and regulations that impact the delivery of health services and the welfare of families and children.

While options related to child care facilities and family day care homes may seem relevant, as they fall under the broader umbrella of health and human services, Chapter 402 specifically addresses the overarching policies and regulations that guide the operation of programs and services aiming to protect public health and ensure the well-being of children and families. This includes licensing and monitoring various care settings, ensuring compliance with state laws, and setting standards for service delivery à la health and human services.

In contrast, child care facilities and family day care homes are typically governed more specifically under different chapters or sections that directly pertain to child care regulations. Thus, while they are indeed relevant topics, they are part of the larger framework established by Chapter 402 concerning public health and human services.
