Department of Human Services; require to transfer at least 30% of TANF block grant to Child Care and Development Fund.

SB 2464 requires Mississippi's Department of Human Services to redirect at least 30% of its annual Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds - both state and federal - to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each fiscal year. This policy change directly affects families eligible for child care assistance, as CCDF funds subsidize child care costs for low-income working parents. The bill mandates a specific percentage transfer (30%) of TANF resources to CCDF, ensuring dedicated funding for child care support rather than other welfare services. It takes effect July 1, 2026, and applies to all subsequent fiscal years.
