What’s in it
AI summary Currently, child care providers in the state assistance program can charge families extra fees if their normal rates are higher than what the state pays. Under this new rule, the state would instead pay providers the same amount they usually charge families who pay on their own. This change affects both child care providers and families using state assistance.1
Read the official explanation
This bill replaces the ability for child care providers to collect additional fees from families participating in the state child care assistance program (CCA) if the child care provider’s private-pay rate is more than the state’s CCA reimbursement rate with the requirement that the department of health and human services reimburse a child care provider at the rate the child care provider would typically charge a private-pay family for child care. Under current law, child care providers are reimbursed under the CCA at a rate equal to the lesser of the child care provider’s private-pay rate or a rate set by the state varying on the type of child care provider, the age of the child, and the child care provider’s rating under the quality rating system.
