Introduced
by
To establish that certain before- or after-school programs are not subject to regulation and licensure as “child care organizations.” This includes programs for children between kindergarten and age 13 in specific subjects such as dancing, drama, music, religion, etc., or group athletic or social activities sponsored by an organized club or hobby group, such as youth clubs, scouting, and school-age recreational or supplementary education programs. Also, to remove an automatic exemption from “child care organizations” licensure for after-school programs operated in a public school. Instead, the bill provides procedures for allowing existing school programs to continue without licensure if they follow essentially the same regulations as those governing licensed entities.
