AI Summary
This bill amends existing Virginia law to exempt certain facilities that provide custodial care to 12 or fewer adults or children in a home from regulations that typically apply to restaurants. These newly exempted facilities include family day homes, adult day centers, assisted living facilities, children's residential facilities, child-caring institutions, group homes, recovery residences, and residential crisis stabilization services, as defined by specific state board regulations. The purpose of this exemption is to reduce regulatory burdens on these smaller, home-based care facilities, recognizing that their operations differ significantly from commercial restaurants.
