Bill > SF3047

This bill provides a specific appropriation (allocation of money) for child care improvement grants, allocating $2,500,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund. The funds will be administered by the commissioner of children, youth, and families and directed toward child care improvement grants as specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.20, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (7). Notably, the bill specifies that no money from this appropriation can be used for administrative costs, which is a departure from typical government funding practices. This targeted funding is likely intended to support and enhance child care infrastructure, quality, or accessibility, though the specific use of the grants is not detailed in the bill text. The zero administrative cost provision suggests a desire to ensure that all allocated funds directly support child care improvements rather than bureaucratic overhead.
