What’s in it
The state child care assistance (CCA) program assists families by paying for all or a portion of the cost of a family’s child care depending on the family’s income. Under current law, to be eligible for the CCA program, a family must meet certain income requirements as well as certain requirements not related to family income. This bill removes the requirements unrelated to family income as a condition for eligibility or participation in the CCA program. The bill makes conforming changes to Code section 237A.13 and repeals Code section 239B.24.
