What’s in it

This bill permits a county hospital (hospital) to establish a child care facility (facility). A hospital’s board of trustees may operate the facility, or the board of trustees may contract with a person licensed to operate a facility to operate the hospital’s facility. The operation, maintenance, and improvement of a hospital’s facility must comply with the requirements of Code chapter 237A (child care facilities).
