Summary

The legislation tasks the Interagency Resource Management Committee (IRMC) with coordinating the design, funding, and implementation of voluntary cost‑sharing child‑care initiatives involving the state, employers, community sponsors, and families. By setting guidelines, streamlining enrollment and payment, and allowing the IRMC to contract out services and draw on state, federal, philanthropic or other funds, the bill aims to expand access to affordable, licensed child care and support workforce participation.
