Exempts armed forces-certified child care providers from state licensure requirements.

The bill amends the Ohio Revised Code to exempt child care providers certified by any branch of the United States armed forces from state licensure requirements. This exemption applies to programs that meet specific criteria, including those operated by nonchartered, nontax-supported schools, places of worship, and other specified entities. The exemption is intended to streamline the licensing process for armed forces-certified providers, ensuring they are not subject to unnecessary regulatory burdens.
