CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ACT

Summary

The bill creates a statewide program that pays child‑care facilities to serve qualifying children, with eligibility tied to household income, parental activity (employment, schooling, training, TANF, homelessness, etc.) and residency. It limits parent copayments on a sliding scale, uses a quality‑rating system for payment rates, and requires facilities to follow reporting and training standards. The program aims to expand affordable, high‑quality child care for low‑income and at‑risk families.
