AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend Chapter 15D of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a framework for determining reasonable and adequate rates of payment for subsidized child care providers. Key provisions include: 1. Defining "governmental mandate" and "subsidized child care provider" for the purposes of the bill. 2. Granting the board responsible for establishing the rate structure the sole authority to set rates that account for factors such as the costs of governmental mandates, inflation, and market data. 3. Requiring the board to hold public hearings annually to determine the rates, with a provision that no subsidized child care provider shall receive less than the amount paid in fiscal year 2017, adjusted for inflation. 4. Providing a process for subsidized child care providers to appeal the rates set by the board, with the Division of Administrative Law Appeals conducting adjudicatory proceedings and the Superior Court having exclusive jurisdiction for judicial review. 5. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2017.
