An Act to preserve early education support for families
This bill amends Massachusetts law to exempt child care and school age programs from state-imposed price limits on their services. Specifically, it protects contracts between the Department of Early Education and Care and these providers from any future price caps set by the Bureau of Price Control. The change directly affects families relying on state-funded early education programs by ensuring their providers can set fees without government restrictions. By removing these limitations, the legislation aims to maintain the current financial support structure for early education services across the state.
