Section 1.  G.S. 110-86(2) is rewritten to read as follows:

"(2)      'Day care' includes any child-care arrangement under which a child less than 13 years of age receives care away from his own home by persons other than his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters who are not minors, and guardians or full-time custodians."

"(4)      'Day-care plan' includes any day-care program or child- care arrangement in which any person provides day care for more than one child and less than six children at any one time, wherever operated, and whether or not operated for profit. To determine whether a child-care arrangement is a day-care plan, all children shall be counted except the school-age children of the plan operator or provider.
