AI Summary

Additionally, the bill aims to expand eligibility for the child care scholarship program by increasing the income threshold for families to qualify, and it designates certain surplus revenues from tobacco taxes, liquor sales, and video lottery terminals to fund this expansion, with these provisions taking effect only after the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue Administration certifies that these revenue sources have operated at a surplus for the past year, and no earlier than July 1, 2027.
