AI Summary
This bill modifies the publicly funded child care program by granting the Attorney General the authority to investigate criminal or civil violations related to child care laws and the program, including the power to prosecute cases and apply forfeiture provisions. It also allows for the summary suspension of child care licenses if there's suspicion of misuse of public funds or fraud against the program. Additionally, the bill adjusts funding for the Child Care Cred Program, reducing its appropriation while increasing funding for a data analytics project focused on automated attendance reviews for publicly funded child care providers. The bill also makes changes to how child care payments are calculated, shifting from enrollment-based to attendance-based, and clarifies rules regarding provider contracts and eligibility for publicly funded child care.
