Summary
The Texas Human Resources Code Section 42.041 (b) (14) provides exemption to childcare licensure requirements for an elementary-age recreation program operated by a municipality provided that the governing body of the municipality annually adopts standards of care by ordinance after a public hearing for the program. This ordinance has been provided to establish these standards of care in order to exempt Pflugerville Parks and Recreation programs from state child care licensing requirements. These standards of care are intended to be minimum standards by which the city will operate its parks and recreation department after school, summer camp and other programs. Pflugerville Parks and Recreation programs are recreational in nature and are not child care programs.
