Bill > HB5157

This bill amends existing West Virginia law concerning residential child-care centers and other childcare services by adding a new provision that mandates child-care subsidies, which are financial assistance programs provided by the government to help families afford childcare, to be calculated based on a child's monthly enrollment in a program rather than their daily attendance. This change, found in the new subsection (k), means that childcare providers will receive subsidy payments for the number of children enrolled each month, regardless of how many days each child actually attends, which could provide more predictable funding for childcare facilities.
