Rule Packet: Validating Controlling Persons Lists in Child Care Operations

HHSC cancelled the rules project related to Validating Controlling Persons Lists in Child Care Operations. The rules in this project would require a child care operation to validate its controlling persons list on a scheduled basis using the operation’s Child Care Regulation Account.

The cancellation of this project does not change current rule requirements related to maintaining a current controlling persons list. A child care operation must provide information to Child Care Regulation about each controlling person at the operation:

• When applying for a permit.
• Once the operation has a permit:
  • as soon as possible, or
  • within two days after a person becomes a controlling person or ceases to be a controlling person at the operation.

For more information on the current requirements, review:

• Chapter 744, Minimum Standards for School-Age and Before or After-School Programs, §744.305(a)(7).
• Chapter 745, Licensing, Subchapter G, Controlling Persons.
• Chapter 746, Minimum Standards for Child-Care Centers, §746.305(a)(7).
• Chapter 747, Minimum Standards for Child-Care Homes, §747.303(a)(7).
• Chapter 748, Minimum Standards for General Residential Operations, §748.153(3)(B),(C) and (D).
• Chapter 749, Minimum Standards for Child-Placing Agencies, §749.153(a)(3)(B),(C) and (D).
