Great start compensation support payments grant program modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's Great Start Compensation Support Payments Grant Program by updating requirements for child care programs receiving funding. It mandates that programs submit applications for each payment period and allows staff break time, professional development hours up to 24 annually, and vacation time to count toward eligible staff hours. Programs must also submit enrollment and attendance data, agree to operate and serve a minimum number of children during funding periods, and spend received funds within six months. The bill includes exceptions for service disruptions related to public health guidance and planned provider vacations or holidays, with the commissioner setting maximum duration limits for these exceptions.
