Bill > SF4545

This bill modifies the Great Start Compensation Support Payments Grant Program by amending a section of Minnesota Statutes related to program requirements. Specifically, it allows child care programs receiving these grants to count certain paid time off for their full-time equivalent staff as qualifying hours. This includes paid break time, up to 24 hours annually for professional development or training, and paid vacation time. These changes are intended to provide more flexibility and support for child care providers in meeting program requirements for grant funding.
