AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 55 of the General Laws to allow candidates for public office to use campaign funds to pay for child care expenses that would not otherwise exist due to their campaign activities. It defines "child care" to include professional or casual babysitting services, as well as any other directly related costs. The bill also directs the Director of the Office of Campaign and Political Finance to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the act by July 1, 2021. The purpose of this bill is to support parents who are running for public office by making it easier for them to cover the additional child care costs associated with campaigning.
