AI Summary
This bill repeals the child care assistance program, effectively eliminating the existing legal framework that provides financial aid for child care services to families engaged in employment, job search, or education, as well as grants for improving child care availability. The repeal includes numerous sections of Minnesota Statutes related to definitions, program administration, eligibility requirements, provider regulations, payment rates, and fraud investigations, signaling a complete discontinuation of this program. The bill also mandates that the revisor of statutes consult with legislative and departmental experts to identify and draft necessary statutory changes to remove all references to the repealed program, with a report due by February 1, 2027, and the repeal itself is set to take effect on July 1, 2027.
