Bill > HB5163

This bill amends existing West Virginia law to exempt child-care programs operated by a county board of education exclusively for the children of its employees or students from certain licensing requirements. This means that these specific school-run child-care programs will not need to obtain the same licenses as other child-care facilities. However, the State Board of Education will be empowered to create rules to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the children attending these programs, as outlined in the West Virginia Administrative Procedures Act (§29A-3B-1, et seq.).
