What’s in it
AI summary The Department of Health and Human Services would create a way to pay parents back for wages lost when they have to miss work to care for a sick child. To get this money, the child must normally attend a licensed or registered child care facility or home. This program is for people who do not already qualify for the state's child care assistance program.1
Read the official explanation
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. The terms “child”, “child care facility”, and “child care home” mean the same as defined in Code chapter 237A.
