AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a process for setting fair and reasonable rates for subsidized child care providers in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1) defining "governmental mandate" and "subsidized child care provider"; 2) requiring the Board of Early Education and Care to set annual rates for subsidized providers, taking into account factors such as the cost of governmental mandates, inflation, and market data; 3) prohibiting the Board from considering resources specified in Medicaid law when setting rates; and 4) establishing an appeals process for providers to challenge the rates set by the Board. The bill is intended to ensure that subsidized child care providers are adequately compensated to provide high-quality early education and care services to low-income and at-risk children.
