| S.B. No. 952 | ||
|
|
||
| relating to standards for nutrition, physical activity, and screen | ||
| time for certain child-care facilities and homes. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 42.042, Human Resources Code, is amended | ||
| by adding Subsections (e-3), (e-4), and (e-5) to read as follows: | ||
| (e-3) The minimum standards for a day-care center or | ||
| registered family home adopted under Subsection (e) must be | ||
| consistent with: | ||
| (1) American Academy of Pediatrics standards for | ||
| physical activity and screen time as published in Caring for Our | ||
| Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards; | ||
| Guidelines for Early Care and Education Programs, 4th Edition; and | ||
| (2) the nutrition standards in the Child and Adult | ||
| Care Food Program administered by the Department of Agriculture. | ||
| (e-4) A day-care center or registered family home is not | ||
| required to participate in or comply with the reporting | ||
| requirements of the Child and Adult Care Food Program administered | ||
| by the Department of Agriculture. | ||
| (e-5) If the commission determines that the economic impact | ||
| of requiring a day-care center or registered family home to comply | ||
| with a minimum standard adopted under Subsection (e-3) is | ||
| sufficiently great to make compliance impractical, the commission | ||
| may require the day-care center or registered family home to meet | ||
| the guidelines of the minimum standard through an alternative | ||
| method. | ||
| SECTION 2. As soon as practicable after the effective date | ||
| of this Act, the executive commissioner of the Health and Human | ||
| Services Commission shall adopt the rules necessary to implement | ||
| the changes in law made by this Act. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
