Committee adopts ISP to study zoning exemptions for licensed childcare family homes
Summary
The joint House-Senate committee adopted ISP 2025-054 for study, an interim proposal that would create a zoning exemption for licensed childcare family homes and includes a declaration of emergency; the motion passed by voice vote (tally not specified).
An interim study proposal that would create a zoning exemption for licensed childcare family homes was adopted for study by a joint session of the Arkansas Senate Committee on Children and Youth and the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, and Legislative & Military Affairs on Monday.
Representative Randy Torres introduced ISP 2025-054, described in the meeting record as “an act to create a zoning exemption for childcare family homes; to declare an emergency; and for other purposes,” and asked the committee to adopt the ISP for study. Representative Mary Bentley moved to adopt the ISP for study; Representative Rick McClure seconded the motion, and the motion carried. The transcript records that the motion carried but does not provide a roll-call or numerical vote tally.
Adoption of an ISP for study places the proposal on the committee’s study list; it does not enact the measure into law. The meeting record does not specify additional committee directions or a timeline for further consideration. With no other business recorded, the joint meeting adjourned at 11:30 a.m.
