AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 31 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CHILD CARE FACILITIES.

Section 344(d) of Title 31 of the Delaware Code currently exempts entities under state ownership or control, like a public school, from the regulatory authority of the Office of Child Care Licensing (“OCCL”). This Act removes that exemption, requiring child care facilities under state ownership and control, including programs for preschool, pre-k and before and after school aged children, to comply with the licensing requirements of the OCCL. A facility that administers federal Head Start programs, however, is not subject to the licensing requirements of the OCCL because such programs are regulated by federal requirements. Maternity wards of general hospitals continue to be exempted from the OCCL’s licensing requirements. Programs that are subject to state education curriculum components are not required to adhere to education curriculum requirements as promulgated by the OCCL.
