Requiring the Kansas children's cabinet and the department of health and environment to implement a pilot program to offer health services, telehealth consultations and medication reimbursements to child care providers, while prohibiting stricter local regulations, allowing local registration of providers, increasing state funding for the child and adult care food program and providing free training and education materials to providers.

Summary

The bill would have the state launch a two‑year pilot that offers health services, telehealth visits and up to $100 a month for prescription costs to low‑income child‑care providers. It also stops cities or counties from imposing regulations stricter than state law, matches lower‑tier federal food‑program reimbursements to the top tier, and provides free training and a reimbursement program for providers. The measure died in committee and did not become law.
