AN ACT relating to child-care providers on a military installation or facility.

Amend KRS 199.8982 to establish an exemption from the state certification requirements for a child-care provider on a military installation or military facility that is licensed or certified as a family child-care provider by the United States Department of Defense, any branch of the United States Armed Forces, the National Guard, or reserve component thereof.

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.
