An Act expanding access to family, friend, and neighbor-provided childcare

Summary

The bill defines “family, friend and neighbor” (FFN) care and creates a payment system that lets families use child‑care vouchers at an hourly rate no lower than the state minimum wage. It also directs the Department of Early Education and Care to form a diverse advisory committee to study FFN care and recommend policy changes. The goal is to increase access to informal child‑care options while ensuring caregiver compensation and program oversight.
