Child care; Child Care Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 1857 is a procedural bill that names the "Child Care Act of 2025" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025. It does not establish new policies or affect any specific group; it solely provides a formal title for future child care legislation. The bill contains no substantive provisions or mechanisms beyond naming the act and specifying its implementation date. This is a standard legislative procedural step, not a policy change. The bill was introduced on February 3, 2025, and referred to the Rules Committee.
