Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow child-care providers located on military bases or facilities in Kentucky to skip the state's certification process if they are already licensed or certified by the U.S. Department of Defense or a branch of the armed forces. It recognizes that these providers are already subject to federal oversight and avoids requiring them to meet a separate set of state requirements. Who it may affect: military families using on-base child care, and child-care providers operating on Kentucky military installations.
