Child Care Regulation will review and evaluate the following criteria when determining whether another state's licensing requirements are substantially equivalent to the requirements for an administrator's license under this subchapter and Chapter 43 of the Texas Human Resources Code:(1) Whether the other state requires an applicant to pass an examination that demonstrates competence in the field of child care administration or placing children in residential settings, as appropriate, to obtain the license;(2) Whether the other state requires an applicant to meet the full-time experience qualifications, as described in this division, to obtain the license;(3) Whether the other state requires an applicant to meet the education qualifications, as described in this division, to obtain the license; and(4) The other state's license requirements, including the scope of work authorized to be performed under the license issued by the other state. For example, the license in the other state must require an administrator to meet responsibilities equivalent to those that an administrator of an applicable residential child-care operation in Texas must meet.
