Overview
This bill creates a grant program within the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide financial support to licensed child care and registered family day care providers. The program aims to stabilize the child care industry, which faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now being expanded through universal preschool initiatives. Grants can be used for operating expenses, workforce support, and addressing issues like facility closures and revenue losses. The program is funded through appropriations from the state budget.
