AI Summary
This bill allows licensed or permitted childcare providers who participate in the Department of Human Services' (DHS) Child Care Subsidy Program to charge parents or legal guardians the difference between the DHS reimbursement rate and the provider's standard private tuition rate for the same services. The Department of Human Services is prohibited from penalizing or taking any negative action, such as disqualifying a provider or restricting their enrollment in the subsidy program, solely because they charge this authorized difference, often referred to as a "differential." However, providers must apply this differential consistently to all families in similar situations. The bill also directs the Department of Human Services to create necessary rules and update agreements to implement these changes, with the act becoming effective on November 1, 2026.
