AI Summary
This bill amends the Human Services Code to further regulate subsidized child care copayments. It establishes a sliding scale for copayments based on a family's annual income, with minimum copayments of $5 per week. The bill also sets limits on the maximum percentage of a family's income that can be used for copayments, ranging from 8% to 15% depending on the family's income level. Additionally, the bill provides for a temporary continuation of eligibility for subsidized child care, even if there are changes in the family's income or employment status. The bill also repeals a section of the Fiscal Code related to this issue.
