Legislation that would require additional inspection for home day care centers passed in the state Senate this week, nearly nine months after a baby was killed from fentanyl exposure in a Bronx day care center.
State Sen. Gustavo Rivera — who represents the Bronx’s 33rd Senatorial District where the fatal overdose occurred — announced that his daycare inspection bill had passed unanimously 60-0 in the Senate on June 4 and will next move through the state Assembly before it can make its way to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk.
