✔️ SB218
Exempt armed forces-certified child care provider from licensure
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Armed Services, Veterans Affairs and Public Safety)
Summary
SB218 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 amendment allows these providers to operate without a state-issued license, while maintaining existing exemptions for other types of child care programs.
Rationale
The bill aligns with the Libertarian principles of reducing government regulation and allowing individuals more freedom in their choices, particularly in the context of child care. Both the LP and LPO support minimizing government interference in personal and economic matters, which this bill facilitates by exempting certain providers from licensing requirements.
