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

What it does

This bill relates to the reimbursement of child care providers from the child care assistance program. The bill provides that the department of human services shall pay child care providers based on full-day rates for each day the provider cared for a child enrolled in the state child care assistance program, regardless of whether the child remained in the provider’s care for the full day. Under current law, the department of human services is allowed to pay less than full-day rates if a child care provider cared for a child for less than a full day.
