Died when the session ended The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary The Department of Human Services would change how it pays child care providers who take part in the state's assistance program. Instead of paying for the actual hours a child is cared for, the state would pay based on the number of hours scheduled for that child.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that the department of human services shall pay child care providers enrolled in the state’s child care assistance program based on the number of hours of child care scheduled for a child enrolled in the program instead of for child care provided.

Why it matters. Child care providers enrolled in the state’s child care assistance program would receive payments from the department of human services based on the number of scheduled hours for a child rather than the actual hours of care provided.2
