Title
Child care facilities; facilities offering certain cultural arts instruction exempt from certain licensing requirements
Description

Under existing law certain child-care facilities that are operating as an integral part of a local church ministry or a religious nonprofit school are exempt from certain licensure requirements

This bill would exempt certain child-care facilities that provide cultural arts programs from licensure requirements, provided the program is strictly instructional and the facility does not advertise itself as providing child care

This bill would require exempt child-care facilities to adhere to appropriate fire and health codes, criminal history, background check requirements, and insurance requirements, and to provide notice to parents of their exempt status

This bill would require parents to submit an affidavit that they have been notified that the facility is not licensed

This bill would require the Department of Human Resources to inspect any new child-care facility that is exempt from licensure before the facility may operate, and would allow the department to inspect any other exempt child-care facility upon reasonable cause that the facility is not in compliance with the law or a child's safety is at risk

HB63 INTRODUCED This bill would also allow the district attorney to investigate, at his or her discretion, any allegations against an exempt child-care facility
