     3    § 390-j. Performance summary card in a city having a population of one
     4  million or more. 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this  section,  the
     5  following terms shall have the following meanings:
     6    (a)  "Child care service" shall mean any person who provides child day
     7  care in a city having a population  of  one  million  or  more  that  is
     8  required  to  obtain  a permit to operate pursuant to the health code of
     9  such city.
    10    (b) "Performance summary card" shall mean  an  individualized  placard

    14  sions as required by rules promulgated by the  department  issuing  such
    15  card. A performance summary card may also include additional information

    18  care  service  to  other child care services in the same social services

     1    2. Performance summary card.  The  department  of  health  and  mental
     2  hygiene of a city having a population of one million or more shall issue

     5  card  shall  be  updated  and  reissued by such department at least once
     6  every twelve months. The child care service shall conspicuously post its
     7  most recently issued performance summary card at or near its entrance in

    11  lations necessary to implement the provisions of this act on its  effec-
