This bill amends West Virginia Code §49-2-113 to exempt child-care programs operated by a county board of education exclusively for the children of its employees from certain licensing requirements. The new legal language specifies that these programs will not be subject to the licensing requirements outlined in the section, as well as the rules promulgated under Title 78 CSR 1. Additionally, the bill mandates that the State Board of Education establish rules to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of children enrolled in these exempt programs.

The bill also includes a deletion of a previous subsection (j) and renumbers the subsequent subsection accordingly. The overall purpose of the bill is to streamline regulations for specific child-care programs while maintaining a focus on the safety and welfare of the children involved.
