What’s in it
AI summary Instead of letting child care providers charge families extra fees to make up the difference in state payments, the state would pay providers their full private rate. This change affects child care providers and families who use the state's child care assistance program. Under this new rule, the department of health and human services would reimburse providers based on what they normally charge families who pay on their own.1
Read the official explanation
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.
