Draft requires state licensing and fenced yards for home-occupation day-care centers
Summary
The draft would require home-occupation day-care centers for four or more children to comply with state licensing and attach copies of licenses to the application; it also requires fenced outdoor yard space.
Under the draft, when day-care and preschool centers for four or more children are approved as a home occupation, applicants must comply with applicable state licensing and attach copies of required state licenses to the application.
The draft states: "A license shall be issued by the Utah Department of Workforce Services for the same, and all regulations and conditions imposed by that agency observed. b. Copies of all required State licenses will be attached to the application. c. Outside yard space will be fenced for the protection of the children (contain them safely)." Earlier lines of the draft also reference compliance with licensing "as required by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services," creating an inconsistency in the named state agency referenced.
The language would require applicants to provide proof of state licensing with the county application and to secure fenced outdoor play space for children. Because the draft uses two different state-agency names in successive lines — "Utah Department of Health and Human Services" and "Utah Department of Workforce Services" — county reviewers or the sponsoring department will need to confirm which licensing agency has regulatory authority for the specific child-care category before finalizing the code.
The draft does not specify a permit fee change or inspection timeline; it focuses on documentation and a safety condition for outdoor space.
