This bill amends the Child Care Licensing Act in Nebraska by modifying section 71-1910 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024. The key change is the exemption of certain federal programs from child care licensing requirements. Specifically, the bill clarifies that programs operating on military bases or federal property, as well as facilities licensed as family child care providers by the United States Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard, are not subject to the licensing requirements outlined in the Act.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous language that included foster care as a program subject to licensing requirements. By making these amendments, the bill aims to streamline regulations for child care services provided in specific federal contexts, thereby potentially easing the burden on military families and federal employees who utilize these services. The original section 71-1910 is repealed to accommodate these changes.
