I'm not an expert on this particular issue but there have been cases of corporations using fake 'public interest groups' to promulgate legislation that serves their interests. Apparently in Ohio the tobacco companies created a group called Smoke Less Ohio that put forth a ballot iniative that claims to restrict smoking but actually restricts smoking *bans* by legislating smoking ban rules that are *less* stringent than those that actually exist. (Sneaky, huh?)
So it's possible there's some interest group pulling the strings behind this one, trying to make it harder to run a day care but pretending to make it easier in order to steal the other side's votes.
