LB 808 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Create a child care licensing pilot program under the Child Care Licensing Act

LB 808 creates a five-year pilot program allowing Nebraska's Director of Public Health to grant licenses to child care facilities with waived licensing requirements under the Child Care Licensing Act. The program directly affects child care providers who participate, enabling them to operate with modified rules to increase facility availability and capacity. The Director must approve waivers case-by-case, ensure health/safety protections, and evaluate the pilot's success to recommend potential permanent legislative changes. Facilities must comply with alternative terms established by the Director to safeguard children's welfare. The bill repeals the original licensing section it amends.
