An Act expanding access to family, friend, and neighbor-provided childcare

This bill expands access to family, friend, and neighbor-provided childcare by establishing a payment structure for caregivers who provide care in a child's home or are relatives, ensuring voucher funds cover the full daily value at an hourly rate. It sets a minimum hourly wage for these caregivers equal to the state's minimum wage and requires their care to be licensed unless reimbursement reverts to original payment levels. The legislation also creates a state advisory committee to gather input on improving support, resources, and oversight for these caregivers over a one-year period.
