A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the licensing of certain school-age programs that |
|
|
provide child-care services. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 42.048, Human Resources Code, is amended |
|
|
by amending Subsection (e) and adding Subsections (e-1), (e-2), and |
|
|
(e-3) to read as follows: |
|
|
(e) A license issued under this chapter is not transferable |
|
|
and applies only to the operator and facility location stated in the |
|
|
license application. Except as provided by Subsections (e-1), |
|
|
(e-2), and (e-3) [this subsection], a change in location or |
|
|
ownership automatically revokes a license. |
|
|
(e-1) A change in location of a child-placing agency does |
|
|
not automatically revoke the license to operate the child-placing |
|
|
agency. |
|
|
(e-2) A residential child-care facility operating under the |
|
|
license of a continuum-of-care residential operation that changes |
|
|
location may not continue to operate under that license unless the |
|
|
department approves the new location after the continuum-of-care |
|
|
residential operation meets all requirements related to the new |
|
|
location. |
|
|
(e-3) A change in location of a school-age program operated |
|
|
exclusively during the summer period or any other time when school |
|
|
is not in session does not automatically revoke the license to |
|
|
operate the school-age program. A school-age program that changes |
|
|
location may not operate at the new location unless the department |
|
|
approves the new location after the school-age program meets all |
|
|
requirements related to the new location. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
