Relating to a study regarding the cost of child care in this state in comparison to family income.
HB 460 requires the state to conduct a study comparing child care costs to family income levels across the state. The study would be carried out by state agencies and analyze how child care expenses relate to household earnings, particularly for low- and middle-income families. This bill does not provide funding or change existing child care laws; it only mandates data collection and reporting. The findings would be submitted to the legislature, but the bill itself does not enact any new policies or immediate changes.
