HF 2221: Modifying eligibility and participation requirements for the state child care assistance program

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

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.
