Section 1.  Article 7 of Chapter 110 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 110-101.1.  Corporal punishment banned in certain 'nonregistered' homes.
(a)	The use of corporal punishment as a form of discipline is prohibited in those day care homes that are not required to be registered under this Article but that receive State subsidies for child day care unless this care is provided to children by their grandparents, aunts, uncles, step-grandparents, or great-grandparents.  Care provided children by their grandparents, aunts, uncles, step-grandparents, or great-grandparents is not subject to this section.  Religious sponsored nonregistered homes are also exempt from this section."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies to acts of discipline imposed on or after this date.
