I had never heard of such a thing until I started the foster care licensing process. I can't imagine many unlicensed providers would be aware such thing existed or how truly important it is (legally unlicensed providers here aside.....most here are a different crew entirely)
Heck the licensed providers here don't have much in the way of sleep safe or SIDS training either. While I don't agree I should be forced to license, I would like to see the states that do require licensing to adapt the EXACT SAME guidelines so at least they aren't confusing
