HB 35 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Day-care certification requirement amendments.

HB 35 amends Wyoming law to create a certification exception for certain part-time preschool facilities. It directly affects small preschools enrolling fewer than eight children over 36 months old or fewer than ten children over 48 months old, provided they meet five specific conditions: no medication administration, no food preparation, children must be toilet-trained (no diapers), limited to 10 weekly hours of attendance, and compliance with local health/safety/fire codes. The bill requires the Department of Family Services to create implementing rules and takes effect July 1, 2023, with some provisions effective immediately upon enactment. This changes certification requirements for qualifying facilities without altering broader childcare regulations.
