AI Summary

This bill establishes a new "Disproportionate Share Childcare Provider Fund" under the Department of Early Education and Care. The fund will provide supplemental funding to certain childcare provider agencies that care for a disproportionate number of high-risk children and meet specific criteria, including having a licensed capacity of over 150, serving families at or below the federal poverty level, and operating in designated "gateway municipalities." At least 50% of licensing fees collected by the Department will be deposited into the fund, and eligible providers will receive bi-annual payments from the fund proportional to their licensed capacity.
