AN ACT relating to the Child Care Assistance Program.

This bill would update Kentucky's Child Care Assistance Program by adding official definitions for key terms and setting out income eligibility rules that determine which families can receive child care help. It deals with a federal funding source, the Child Care and Development Fund, which supports subsidized child care for lower-income families. Clearer eligibility requirements could affect how families qualify for assistance with child care costs. Who it may affect: lower-income families with young children seeking help paying for child care.
