Licensure exemptions for military family child care providers
HB 3079 exempts child care programs serving only military dependents and located on military bases or certified by the U.S. military from West Virginia's state licensing requirements. These programs will no longer need state licensure, as military installation commanders will determine eligibility and which children are served. The bill amends existing law to explicitly include these military-connected programs under an exemption, removing redundant state oversight. This change directly affects military family child care providers operating on bases or under military certification.
