Bill > LB248

This bill modifies the Child Care Licensing Act by adding an exemption for child care programs located on military bases or federal property, or those licensed by branches of the Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard. Specifically, the bill amends the definition of "program" in section 71-1910 to exclude these types of child care facilities from the state's child care licensing requirements. The original law already contained several exemptions for different types of child care settings, such as casual care, recreation camps, religious organization classes, and school-based programs. By adding this new exemption, the bill ensures that child care facilities on military installations or federal properties will not need to obtain state licensing, potentially simplifying administrative processes for these specialized child care providers while maintaining the overall purpose of regulating child care services to ensure child safety and quality of care.
