What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a grant program under which the Department of Children and

Families may award grants to licensed child care centers and certified child care

providers to pay for additional staffing to assist in the care of children with

disabilities when other funding is unavailable or insufficient for this purpose. The

bill authorizes DCF to determine grant eligibility and award amounts, and allows

DCF to promulgate rules to administer the grant program.
