The bill S. 700 proposes an amendment to Section 63-13-810 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing the registration requirements for family childcare homes. The amendment introduces a new provision that exempts childcare providers operating on military installations or those licensed by the Department of Defense from the existing requirements outlined in Article 5, Chapter 13, Title 63. This change aims to streamline regulations for military-affiliated childcare services, recognizing the unique circumstances of these providers.

The new legal language added to the code specifies that childcare providers on military installations or certified by the Department of Defense or the United States Coast Guard will not be subject to the regulations previously mandated by the article. This bill is currently under consideration in the Senate Committee on Family and Veterans' Services and will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
