Texas SB2609 establishes a process for transferring the four-star rating of existing child-care facilities to new facilities opened by the same.

Texas SB2609 amends the Government Code to create a process for transferring the four-star rating of existing child-care facilities to new facilities opened by the same provider within the same city, postal code, or county. The process requires the provider to obtain an initial permit from the Health and Human Services Commission, mandates a full assessment of the new facility within six months of opening, and waives licensing history requirements for the new facility.
