What does it mean when an enforcement action ends in a stipulated agreement?
A stipulated agreement is a legal contractual agreement between the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and a licensee of a child care center that sets forth specific and unique terms and conditions for granting or continuing licensure. Such an agreement may be used to settle an enforcement action following an appeal, or to establish the conditions under which an applicant/licensee is permitted to hold a license.
