What’s in it

AI summary Under current rules, the state can pay child care providers less than a full day's rate if a child is only cared for part of the day. This bill would change that by requiring the Department of Human Services to pay the full-day rate for every day a child in the assistance program is cared for. This change would affect child care providers who receive payments through the state program.1

Read the official explanation

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.
