What’s in it
This bill relates to state child care assistance program (CCA) reimbursement rates and eligibility for the children of certain child care providers. The bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to set half-day reimbursement rates for child care providers participating in the CCA program to at least the 65th percentile, but not more than the 80th percentile, of the 2023 market rate survey conducted by HHS to analyze and evaluate the market rate of child care services throughout the state.
Read the full explanation
On July 5, 2023, HHS initiated a one-year pilot program that allows children of certain full-time child care providers to qualify for CCA. The bill directs HHS to extend the pilot program until June 30, 2025, and requires HHS to publish data relating to children and families who receive CCA through the pilot program through utilization of modernized, interactive displays found on the department’s internet site.
