Summary

The bill revises Oklahoma’s Child Care Facilities Licensing Act to require more extensive criminal‑history and sex‑offender checks before a facility can be licensed, before hiring staff, and before allowing unsupervised access to children. It also sets an electronic notice requirement for certain child‑care rules and clarifies when the checks are not needed, such as for volunteers who only transport children. The changes aim to improve child safety by expanding the types of records that must be reviewed.
