SB 404 (2024)

Establishes eligibility criteria for child care professionals to receive child care scholarships. In general, this bill makes more child care professionals eligible for a scholarship for their own children, regardless of income.

The Senate amended the bill to instead direct the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a child care workforce child care assistance pilot program.

The House rewrote the bill to expand the child care scholarship to all child care workers, more similar to the original intent of the bill.
