Establishes the "Kinship Infant Care Support Program"

HB 2624 establishes Missouri's "Kinship Infant Care Support Program" to provide financial support to relatives caring for infants under one year old. Eligible caregivers (like grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings) receive hourly payments so the infant's parent or parents can work, attend school, or complete job training for at least 20 hours weekly while meeting income limits (≤250% of federal poverty level). The program pays higher hourly rates for families below 150% poverty, requires background checks and initial safety training (including CPR and safe sleep practices), and limits payments to 60 hours weekly per infant (max two infants). Caregivers cannot receive this support if they already get other child care subsidies or foster care payments.
