What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates a council on child care availability, to be housed in the
Department of Children and Families. The council is charged with studying various
issues related to the establishment of a free and universal child care system within
the state and with making an annual report to the legislature and governor with
recommendations for how to establish and pay for the free and universal child care
system.
Under the bill, DCF is required to create a biennial report detailing the actual
cost of child care, broken out by the type of care provided and compared to the child
care rates established by DCF under current law.
