AN ACT relating to child care and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The act sets up a statewide system that rates early‑care providers, creates a 34‑member advisory council, and requires annual training for child‑care staff, especially on special‑needs care. It also establishes a voluntary partnership that lets employers help pay for child‑care through a state‑run fund and directs the health and family services cabinet to modernize the rating system, give guidance to local governments, and track real capacity of child‑care slots. The goal is to improve quality, expand access, and make child‑care more affordable for families.
