This bill proposes updates to section 36-884 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning child care programs. It maintains the current definition of facilities that provide recreational or instructional activities for school-age children, with a minor adjustment to the phrasing from "school age" to "school-age." The existing requirement for these facilities to post a notice indicating they are not licensed child care facilities remains unchanged.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that recognizes programs or facilities certified as family child care providers by the United States Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard. This new insertion clarifies that the exemption does not extend to family child care providers who also serve children not affiliated with these military branches. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the language and expand the scope of recognized child care providers.
