Bill > A4177

This bill extends the duration of a law that requires certain provider subsidy payments for child care services to be based on enrollment rather than attendance. Specifically, it extends the period where child care providers receive subsidy payments based on the number of children enrolled who are eligible for child care services, rather than the number of children in attendance. The bill also requires the Division of Family Development to conduct a study comparing the costs of these two approaches and consider other measures to ensure stability for providers and serve families of eligible children. The bill allows the Commissioner of Human Services to seek necessary federal approvals to implement these provisions and continue federal financial support for the child care programs.
