HF 2127: Relating to payments to child care providers from families participating in the state child care assistance program

What it does

This bill relates to payments to child care providers from families participating in the state child care assistance (CCA) program. The bill allows a child care provider to collect from a family participating in the CCA program the difference between the CCA program reimbursement rate and the rate the provider would typically charge a private-pay family for child care, provided the child care provider and family agree in writing to such additional payments prior to the provision of the child care.
