What’s in it

This bill replaces the ability for child care providers to collect additional fees from families participating in the state child care assistance program (CCA) if the child care provider’s private-pay rate is more than the state’s CCA reimbursement rate with the requirement that the department of health and human services reimburse a child care provider at the rate the child care provider would typically charge a private-pay family for child care. Under current law, child care providers are reimbursed under the CCA at a rate equal to the lesser of the child care provider’s private-pay rate or a rate set by the state varying on the type of child care provider, the age of the child, and the child care provider’s rating under the quality rating system.
