Updates to Child Care Assistance Programs

Added a header indicating the bill is at the 3rd Reading Unamended in the Senate, dated April 30, 2026.

Updated the version status from 'Revised' to 'Rerevised' and changed the text to reflect that amendments were adopted in the Second House rather than on Second Reading.

Added new names to the Senate Sponsorship list: Ball, Coleman, Daugherty, Exum, Gonzales J., Jodeh, Kipp, Kirkmeyer, Kolker, Marchman, Mullica, Pelton B., and Snyder, Wallace.

Added a requirement for an annual report starting November 1, 2026, that includes an explanation of quality incentives for providers.

Removed a requirement for an annual report starting November 1, 2024, that included estimates of unmet need and specific quality incentive details.

Added new co-sponsors (Bacon, Boesenecker, Camacho, Clifford, Duran, Froelich, Gonzalez R., Joseph, Lieder, Lindsay, McCluskie, Nguyen, Phillips, Rutinel, Stewart K., Story) to the House sponsorship list.

Updated the legislative summary date to March 25, 2026, and changed the status header from 'Engrossed' to 'Reengrossed'.

Removed the requirement for annual reports to break down CCCAP spending into specific categories for administrative expenses and county indirect expenses.

The statutory section number was changed from 26.5-4-110 to 26.5-4-114, and the content was replaced to focus exclusively on CCCAP reporting obligations.

New reporting requirements were added, mandating that annual reports include estimates of unmet child care need, a detailed breakdown of administrative and indirect expenses, and an explanation of quality incentives offered to providers.

The effective date for specific implementation dates was extended from August 1, 2026, to August 1, 2028, delaying when certain provisions take effect.

The bill now explicitly requires reports to be sent to the joint budget committee and specific House and Senate health and human services committees.
