Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to early learning program licensing requirements; 2 and amending RCW 43.216.010. 3
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to clarify which early learning programs are exempt from licensing requirements. Specifically, it adds "school-day early childhood education and assistance program" or "head start program" located within public school or community college buildings or on their premises to the list of programs that do not require an agency license. This change aims to streamline regulations for certain educational programs that are already situated within established educational institutions.
