The bill amends section 5104.02 of the Revised Code to exempt family child care providers certified by any branch of the United States armed forces, including the United States Coast Guard, from licensure requirements. This addition is marked by the insertion of new legal language that specifies this exemption as item (12) in the list of programs that are not subject to the licensing requirements outlined in the chapter.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section 5104.02, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous regulations governing child care licensing. The intent of this legislation is to streamline the process for military family child care providers, recognizing their certification by the armed forces as sufficient for operating without a state-issued license.
