Bill > SB0310

This bill establishes a tri-share child care program within the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, building upon a previously initiated child care pilot project. The bill creates a dedicated tri-share child care fund within the state treasury, which can receive money from various sources and will not have unspent funds lapse back to the general fund at the end of each fiscal year. The state treasurer will manage the fund's investments, and the department will serve as its administrator for auditing purposes. The department is authorized to use the fund to administer the tri-share child care program and support existing child care facilitator hubs, with the potential to expand to new hubs if sufficient funding exists. To be eligible for funding, child care facilitators must be structured as a nonprofit organization, limited liability company, C-corporation, S-corporation, or sole proprietorship. The program aims to continue and potentially expand support for child care services across Michigan, with a focus on increasing accessibility and coverage in participating counties or for statewide employers.
