Relating to: income eligibility for Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy and making an appropriation. (FE)

Summary

The bill raises the income limit for the Wisconsin Shares child‑care subsidy to about 201 % of the state median income and changes how copayments increase as income rises. It creates a new funding line to pay subsidies for families newly eligible under the revised rules and adds $1.25 million to the FY 2026‑27 budget. The changes affect low‑ and moderate‑income families and some parents who previously lost subsidies because their income went up.
