Exempt armed forces-certified child care provider from licensure
Reported
Summary
The bill adds a new exemption to Ohio’s child‑care licensing law, allowing family child‑care programs that have been certified by any branch of the United States armed forces, including the Coast Guard, to operate without a state license. This reduces regulatory paperwork for military‑certified providers and gives parents more options for care. It treats military certification as sufficient to meet the state’s safety standards.
