What’s in it
This bill relates to state child care assistance eligibility for children of full-time child care providers. The bill directs the department of health and human services (HHS) to establish an enhanced child care assistance pilot program (ECCAPP) to provide for state child care assistance program eligibility for children of persons employed full-time as a child care provider at a child care facility participating in the state child care assistance program. The bill states the ECCAPP will begin July 1, 2023, and terminate no earlier than June 30, 2025.
Read the full explanation
The bill requires HHS to submit a report on the ECCAPP to the general assembly on or before March 1, 2025. The report must include data about the number of applicants approved for the ECCAPP who would otherwise have been denied due to income, the total number of families served by the ECCAPP, and the total annual costs for the ECCAPP.
