Relating to: Wisconsin Shares payments to tribal-regulated child care providers. (FE)

SB 710 expands Wisconsin Shares child care assistance to tribal-regulated providers operating under tribal licensing authority on tribal land. It creates a new eligibility category for tribal child care providers who meet federal requirements (42 USC 9858) and have a state agreement. Families using Wisconsin Shares can now choose these tribal providers as an option, alongside licensed centers and school-based programs. The bill ensures tribal providers can access state payments while aligning with federal child care funding rules.
