Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the regulation of child-care facilities that maintain a certificate to operate issued by the United States Department of Defense.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Human Resources Code to exempt two specific types of child-care facilities from state licensing requirements: (1) child-care facilities located on federal military bases or other federal property that have a certificate to operate issued by the United States Department of Defense (DoD), and (2) military family child-care providers that maintain a DoD-issued operating certificate. By adding these two categories to the existing list of child-care facilities exempt from state regulation, the bill ensures that military-affiliated child-care facilities operating with a DoD certificate do not need to obtain additional state licensing. This change recognizes the existing oversight and standards maintained by the Department of Defense for child-care facilities on military installations and for military families. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing ample time for implementation and notification of affected child-care providers.
