Bill Summary

Current law authorizes the Department of Children and Families to contract with one or more agencies for the provision of training and technical assistance to improve the quality of child care provided in this state. Under current law, these contracts are funded from an allocation of federal moneys, including child care development funds and moneys received under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant program. This bill appropriates $2,166,600 in general purpose revenue funding in each fiscal year of the 2025-27 fiscal biennium for contracts that focus on workforce training for child care providers and prospective providers. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $2,166,600 in general purpose revenue (GPR), which is state funding, for each fiscal year of the 2025-27 biennium to the Department of Children and Families. This funding will be used for contracts specifically aimed at providing workforce training and technical assistance to current and future child care providers, building upon existing programs that are currently funded by federal money like the Child Care Development Funds and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant.
