Licensing protections for Oklahoma child care homes

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma's Department of Human Services and State Fire Marshal must develop guidelines for child care homes. These guidelines let family and large child care homes, as defined by Oklahoma law, follow the 2018 International Residential Code. The code must be the version adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission. Officials cannot deny an operating license to a home that follows these guidelines. State and local governments cannot impose stricter fire and life-safety requirements than that code on these homes.
