CCF Handbook , Section 3.4.1, C Compliance Standard Comments Child care providers that were licensed on or before January 29, 2020, will automatically be grandfathered in for this standard. During your programs next inspection, licensing counselors will coordinate with you to gather pictures and floor plans of the play area that will be maintained in your licensing file; in addition to the Outdoor Equipment Fall/Use Zone Acknowledgement. Under this grandfathering allowance, if any of the permanent/stationary playground equipment is moved or replaced, then the new standard outlined in the current Handbook will apply, and 6 feet of fall/use zone must be provided in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment. Any new equipment added will be required to have the 6 feet of fall/use zone to comply with this rule. This allowance will not be continued in the event there is a lapse in the license and/or change of ownership. 17.
