H.B. No. 4127 aims to establish regulatory certainty for group day-care homes and family homes by amending Chapter 250 of the Local Government Code. The bill introduces a new section, 250.014, which prohibits political subdivisions from adopting or enforcing any ordinances, orders, or measures that impose health and safety standards on licensed, registered, or listed group day-care homes or family homes that exceed those established by existing statutes or rules set by the Health and Human Services Commission.

The bill emphasizes the need for consistency in regulations governing day-care facilities, ensuring that local governments cannot impose additional requirements that may create barriers for these homes. If passed, the act will take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
