Child care; adding exemption from the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act. Effective date.

SB 30 amends Oklahoma's Child Care Facilities Licensing Act to add a new exemption for family child care homes operating 30 or fewer hours per week. This directly affects small-scale caregivers who provide limited-hour care, allowing them to operate without full state licensing. The bill updates the existing exemption list (Section 403) by adding this specific 30-hour weekly threshold. The law becomes effective November 1, 2025. This change simplifies regulatory requirements for very low-volume family child care providers.
