Removing certain requirements for private, parochial, or church schools

SB 683 removes a requirement that private, parochial, and church schools in West Virginia must be formally recognized by the West Virginia Department of Education under Policy 2330 to qualify for an exemption from child care licensing rules. The bill directly affects these schools by allowing them to automatically qualify for the exemption without needing separate recognition from the Department of Education. This change modifies Section 49-2-113 of West Virginia law, specifically removing the reference to Policy 2330 recognition in the exemption clause for school education programs operated by such institutions. The policy change simplifies regulatory compliance for these schools by eliminating an administrative step.
