Purpose

A program that is exempt from HHSC regulation or is otherwise not subject to HHSC regulation may operate legally without receiving a permit (license, certification, registration or listing) from Child Care Licensing; or complying with the statutes, rules, or standards that govern regulated child care in Texas. Such a program does not have to meet the requirements of a specific exemption under Texas Human Resources Code (HRC) §42.041(b).  

Procedure

When to Prepare

Licensing uses this form to determine whether a program is exempt from HHSC regulation based on an exemption for one of the following: 

• Parents on premises under Title 40 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §745.117(1) (the rules will be transferred to Title 26 at a later date).
• Short-term program under a state program under 40 TAC §745.117(2).
• Religious program under 40 TAC §745.117(3).
• Foreign exchange sponsorship program under 40 TAC §745.117(4).
