This bill amends the Child Care Licensing Act by revising 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 repeals the original section 71-1910, effectively updating the legal framework governing child care services in Nebraska. The amendments aim to streamline regulations for specific child care programs associated with federal entities, thereby reducing the regulatory burden on these services while ensuring that they remain accessible to families in need of child care.
