On Monday June 8, 2026, Groundwork Ohio Vice President Brittany Boulton delivered proponent testimony to the Ohio House Children and Human Services Committee in support of Senate Bill 218, sponsored by Sen. Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson). This legislation would recognize the existing certification process for Department of Defense family child care providers and remove unnecessary duplication in Ohio’s licensing requirements.

By aligning state policy with rigorous federal oversight already in place, the bill helps reduce barriers for qualified providers, supports military families, and contributes to efforts to expand Ohio’s child care capacity while maintaining strong safety standards.
