to certain family day homes; storage of firearms. 

[S 593] 

Approved April 9, 2020 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 15.2-914 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
reenacted and that the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 
63.2-1701.01 as follows:

� 15.2-914. Regulation of child-care services and facilities 
in certain counties and cities.

Any (i) county that has adopted the urban county executive 
form of government, (ii) city adjacent to a county that has adopted the urban 
county executive form of government, or (iii) city which is completely 
surrounded by such county may by ordinance provide for the regulation and 
licensing of persons who provide child-care services for compensation and for 
the regulation and licensing of child-care facilities. "Child-care 
services" means provision of regular care, protection and guidance to one 
or more children not related by blood or marriage while such children are 
separated from their parent, guardian or legal custodian in a dwelling not the 
residence of the child during a part of the day for at least four days of a 
calendar week. "Child-care facilities" includes any commercial or 
residential structure which is used to provide child-care services.

Such local ordinance shall not require the regulation or

such ordinance shall not require the regulation or licensing of any facility 
operated by a religious institution as exempted from licensure by � 63.2-1716.

Such Except as otherwise provided in this section, 
such local ordinances shall not be more extensive in scope than comparable 
state regulations applicable to family day homes. Such local ordinances may 
regulate the possession and storage of firearms, ammunition, or components or 
combination thereof at child-care facilities so long as such regulation 
remains no and may be more extensive in scope than comparable state 
statutes or regulations applicable to family day homes. Local regulations 
shall not affect the manner of construction or materials to be used in the 
erection, alteration, repair or use of a residential dwelling.

Such local ordinances may require that persons who provide 
child-care services shall provide certification from the Central Criminal 
Records Exchange and a national criminal background check, in accordance with 
�� 19.2-389 and 19.2-392.02, that such persons have not been convicted of any 
offense involving the sexual molestation of children or the physical or sexual 
abuse or rape of a child or any barrier crime defined in � 19.2-392.02, and 
such ordinances may require that persons who provide child-care servi
