AN ACT PROHIBITING THE DIVERSION OF CHILD CARE SUBSIDY FUNDING TO UNION DUES.

SB 41 prevents state child care subsidy funds from being redirected to pay union dues for child care providers. It amends Section 17b-749 of the general statutes to require that any increases in child care subsidy funding must be used solely for child care services, not for union-related costs. This directly affects licensed child care providers receiving state subsidies, ensuring their funding supports child care operations rather than union activities. The bill does not change subsidy eligibility or amounts but clarifies how funding must be spent.
