Establishes provisions relating to reimbursing the monetary value of unused units of respite care or unused child care maintenance or subsidy days

This bill allows resource parents and adoptive parents to receive monetary reimbursement for unused respite care or child care subsidy days if the child's special needs prevented their use, as verified by a doctor or the parent. To qualify, the parent must submit a specific form to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which is required to process the payment within thirty days. The funds received under this program are explicitly excluded from being counted as taxable income. Additionally, the bill grants the department authority to create necessary rules for administering these reimbursements, subject to standard state review procedures.
