What’s in it

AI summary Child care providers can charge families in the state assistance program more money if the family agrees to pay the difference in writing. This extra payment would cover the gap between what the state pays and the provider's normal rate. Both the provider and the family must agree to this arrangement before the child care starts.1

Read the official explanation

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.
