HB 5163 exempts child-care programs operated by county school boards exclusively for the children of their employees or students from most state licensing requirements. This directly affects county school districts and their employees/students who rely on these on-site child-care services. The bill adds this exemption to existing licensing rules while allowing the State Board of Education to create safety and health rules for these programs. It does not change current requirements for other child-care providers, such as family day-care homes or private facilities.
