Change requirements for child care reimbursement rates

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to set child‑care reimbursement rates at least at the 75th percentile of current market rates, with higher payments for nationally accredited or high‑quality providers. It also changes the family income thresholds that qualify for child‑care assistance and defines how transitional aid is calculated. The goal is to align state payments with market costs while encouraging higher‑quality, affordable child care.
