HB 1566 (2026)
Direct DHHS to seek a waiver from federal government for child care workforce grants
This bill is still active.
Sends $15 million from the general fund of all tax dollars to child care recruitment and retention grants, if federal TANF funds are denied for that purpose.
The House rewrote the bill to instead direct the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to seek clarification from the federal government regarding the use of TANF reserve funds and to request a waiver for child care recruitment and retention grants. The bill then repeals the requirement that DHHS request funding for child care workforce programs as part of the state budget process.
