AN ACT appropriating monies to the department of economic security.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $160,000,000 from the state's general fund to the department of economic security for child care assistance for the fiscal year 2026-2027, and this funding is specifically exempted from lapsing, meaning any unspent funds will remain available beyond the end of that fiscal year, unlike typical appropriations which expire if not used within a specific timeframe.
