SB 310 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children: child care; tri-share child care program; establish. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding sec. 6b.

Senate Bill 310 establishes the tri-share child care program within the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, continuing a previous pilot project. It also creates a dedicated tri-share child care fund in the state treasury to support this program. The department will administer this fund, using appropriated money to oversee the program and provide funding to existing child care facilitator hubs. New hubs may also be funded if sufficient resources are available to expand coverage to more counties or serve statewide employers. This aims to support child care access for families and providers.
