This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section, 36-894.02, to title 36, chapter 7.1, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new language specifies that an out-of-school time (OST) program provider that chooses to be licensed as a child care facility is exempt from the requirement to maintain a roster of school-age children for each room or activity area, provided that they keep a roster of children present at the facility upon entry and exit, and that these children are supervised by designated staff when transitioning between activity areas. The bill does not alter any existing provisions of the current law, as indicated by the ... tags, and it introduces the new requirements through the ... tags. The changes aim to streamline the operational requirements for OST program providers while ensuring adequate supervision and accountability for the children in their care.
