Child care; adding exemption from the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act. Effective date.

SB 30 amends Oklahoma's child care licensing law to add new exemptions from state licensing requirements. It directly affects small-scale child care providers, including family child care homes operating 30 or fewer hours weekly, programs serving school-aged children only with limited weekly hours, and facilities on military bases or tribal lands. Key provisions establish specific limits, such as care under 15 hours weekly, operating less than 10 weeks annually, or serving school-aged children in center-based settings with 21 or fewer weekly hours. The bill updates existing exemptions and takes effect on November 1, 2025.
