Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to SB 6482 clarify and expand the definitions related to child care and early learning services in Washington State. Notably, it establishes a streamlined licensing process for child care facilities, specifying that private schools offering early learning programs should only adhere to basic health and safety standards if they don't receive state funds.
