The bill amends Section 404 of the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act to allow for electronic notice to current licensees regarding changes in rules, in addition to traditional mail. This change aims to enhance communication and ensure that all stakeholders are adequately informed about updates that may affect child care facilities. The bill also outlines the composition and responsibilities of various advisory committees and subcommittees that will provide recommendations for minimum requirements and desirable standards for child care facilities, ensuring diverse representation from various stakeholders, including parents, guardians, and representatives from organizations focused on child welfare.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a Child Care Facility Peer Review Board to participate in the grievance process and mandates that child care facilities adhere to specific regulations regarding the supervision of children and the use of sleeping equipment. The Department of Human Services is tasked with promulgating rules in consultation with relevant state agencies, ensuring that the standards for child care facilities are comprehensive and well-informed. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
