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 fund contracts for child care training and technical assistance, specifically focusing on workforce development for current and future child care providers. This funding is intended to enhance the quality of child care services by supporting the training of individuals working in or looking to enter the child care field, building upon existing state authority for the Department of Children and Families to contract for such services, which are currently funded by federal money.
