Bill > HF1336

This bill appropriates a total of $5 million in state general fund money specifically for child care improvement grants over two fiscal years ($2.5 million in fiscal year 2026 and $2.5 million in fiscal year 2027). The funding will be administered by the commissioner of children, youth, and families and directed toward grants authorized under Minnesota Statutes section 142D.20, subdivision 3. A notable provision of the bill is that it specifies zero dollars ($0) can be used for administrative costs, meaning the entire appropriation must go directly to the grants themselves, which are likely intended to support and enhance child care provider services, quality, or infrastructure. By mandating that no administrative funds can be diverted, the bill aims to maximize the direct impact of the grant money on child care programs.
