The bill amends section 5104.02 of the Revised Code to exempt family child care providers who are certified by any branch of the United States armed forces from the licensure requirements that typically apply to child care centers and family child care homes. This new provision is added as subsection (12), which states that programs certified by the armed forces, including the United States Coast Guard, are not subject to the same licensing regulations as other child care providers.

In addition to this new insertion, the bill also includes a repeal of the existing section 5104.02 of the Revised Code, indicating a significant update to the legal framework governing child care licensing in Ohio. The changes aim to streamline the regulatory process for military-affiliated child care providers, recognizing their unique qualifications and certifications.
