AI Summary
This bill requires the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS) to transfer at least 30% of its Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant and available federal funds to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each fiscal year. TANF is a federal assistance program that provides financial support to low-income families, while the CCDF helps provide child care subsidies to working families. The bill amends an existing section of Mississippi law to add this transfer requirement, and also makes a minor grammatical correction by changing "insure" to "ensure" in the existing text. The new provision will take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to increase funding for child care services in the state by mandating a significant portion of TANF funds be redirected to support child care assistance.
