Okla. lawmaker wants all day cares insured

An exemption that allows some day care operators not to carry liability insurance coverage should be removed, a state lawmaker told a legislative panel. More than 1,500 home-based day care operators and nearly 140 day care centers in the state don’t carry liability insurance because of an exemption included in a law passed three years ago, Rep. Mike Shelton told members of the House’s Human Services Committee during a meeting Tuesday.
