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.
