Please join us in the educational efforts aimed at both parents of child performers and service providers affected by this law by sharing this with others in the industry.

The webpage listed above has many details, the application, FAQs, and will house the list of those providers who have a permit. It will take a few weeks for the process to be complete for the first applicants, after that time we should see the list of permit-holders start to be populated.

For parents:

• It is crucial that you utilize the database information of service providers who have a permit to offer services to a minor.
• Please know that the fact someone gets a permit does not mean that they are guaranteed to be safe, trustworthy, or excellent. It means they have not been convicted of a sex crime and that they are willing to make a financial investment in the legitimacy of their business.
• There are many service providers who are awesome people doing an awesome job, and they will now have an additional business expense. We appreciate that, and appreciate them, and thank them for their support.

For service providers:

• Please carefully read the law and determine if it applies to you. BizParentz cannot interpret laws, but we can possibly assist if you need clarification.
• The permit process, fees, and timing are out of our control, but if something is a persistent problem, please feel free to reach out to us.
• Please know that we appreciate that this is an additional business expense for each of you. We know that you are as aware as we are of the many children who have been victims of predators in our industry. This permit process is an important step in exposing and deterring some individuals who have nefarious intent. We hope you will embrace and support this important law.
