 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 AN ACT
 relating to the licensing of certain school-age programs that
 provide child-care services.
 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Section 42.048, Human Resources Code, is amended
 by amending Subsection (e) and adding Subsections (e-1), (e-2), and
 (e-3) to read as follows:
 (e)  A license issued under this chapter is not transferable
 and applies only to the operator and facility location stated in the
 license application.  Except as provided by Subsections (e-1),
 (e-2), and (e-3) [this subsection], a change in location or
 ownership automatically revokes a license.
 (e-1)  A change in location of a child-placing agency does
 not automatically revoke the license to operate the child-placing
 agency.
 (e-2)  A residential child-care facility operating under the
 license of a continuum-of-care residential operation that changes
 location may not continue to operate under that license unless the
 department approves the new location after the continuum-of-care
 residential operation meets all requirements related to the new
 location.
 (e-3)  A change in location of a school-age program operated
 exclusively during the summer period or any other time when school
 is not in session does not automatically revoke the license to
 operate the school-age program. A school-age program that changes
 location may not operate at the new location unless the department
 approves the new location after the school-age program meets all
 requirements related to the new location.
 SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
