✔️ HB464
Exempt military-certified child care providers from licensure
Current Status: In House Committee (Children and Human Services)
Summary
The bill exempts family child care providers certified by a branch of the United States armed forces from the licensure requirements set forth in section 5104.02 of the Revised Code. This change allows military-certified providers to operate without the standard licensing that applies to other child care centers and homes.
Rationale
The bill supports the principle of reducing government regulation on specific providers, aligning with the Libertarian emphasis on personal and economic liberty. However, it may still conflict with the broader LP principles regarding universal application of regulations and licensing. The LPO score is higher due to its specific support for reducing occupational licensing requirements.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for reduced oversight on child care quality and safety.
- Exemption may lead to inconsistencies in child care standards.
