The Chair of a House Committee on Strengthening Missouri Families says he plans to look into day care safety regulations before the 2012 session begins.
Clinton Representative Scott Largent made the pledge following testimony about state laws and rules governing day cares. Lawmakers were told 45 children have died in childcare settings in the state from 2007 through 2010.
A St. Louis Post-Dispatch report is credited for sparking the testimony.
