AI Summary
This bill establishes a new "Disproportionate Share Childcare Provider Fund" under the Department of Early Education and Care. The fund will provide supplemental funding to eligible childcare provider agencies that care for a disproportionate number of high-risk children and meet certain criteria, such as having at least 95% of their capacity serving children from families living at or below the federal poverty level, receiving at least 90% of their revenue from the Department of Early Education and Care, and operating in a designated "gateway municipality." The bill also mandates that at least 50% of the licensing fees collected by the Department of Early Education and Care be deposited into this new fund, and any unspent funds will remain in the fund and not revert to the general fund.
