What’s in it

This bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to establish a process and criteria by which an individual who does not qualify for the state child care assistance program may be reimbursed by HHS for the number of hours of paid employment the individual missed to provide care to the individual’s child who had a temporary health condition that prevented the child from attending the child care facility (facility) or child care home (home) that the child normally attends. The bill requires the facility or home a child normally attends to be licensed or registered with HHS pursuant to Code chapter 237A (child care facilities) in order for the individual to be eligible for reimbursement.
