A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THE EXCLUSION OF NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS FROM THE DAY CARE LAW.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 110-86(3) reads as rewritten:
"(3)	Child day care facility. – Includes any child day care center or child care arrangement which provides day care for more than five children, not including the operator's own school-aged children, under the age of 13 years, on a regular basis of at least once per week for more than four hours but less than 24 hours per day, regardless of the time of day and regardless of whether the same or different children attend. The following are not included: public schools; nonpublic schools whether or not accredited by the State Department of Public Instruction, which regularly provide a course of grade school instruction, unless they offer, in addition to their course of grade school instruction, child care arrangements or operate child day care facilities or homes; summer camps having children in full-time residence; Bible schools conducted during vacation periods; facilities licensed under Article 2 of Chapter 122C of the General Statutes; and cooperative arrangements among parents to provide care for their own children as a convenience rather than for employment.
	   Child day care facilities are separated by capacity into the following categories which determine applicable requirements and standards as established by the Commission pursuant to G.S. 110-88:
Facility Type
Large Home
Small Center
Medium Center
Large Center
	   The Commission shall establish the maximum capacity for each of the four categories of facilities."
