Clarifies the minimum hours of attendance necessary for child subsidies to be based on monthly enrollment rather than daily attendance

HB 4786 clarifies that child care providers receiving state subsidies will be reimbursed based on a child's monthly enrollment - not daily attendance - provided the child attends at least 2.5 hours on one day each month. The bill requires the Department of Human Services to implement this rule change and develop an electronic system for providers to submit attendance records by July 1, 2026. This directly affects licensed child care and afterschool providers who rely on state subsidies for funding. The policy simplifies billing by shifting from daily tracking to monthly enrollment while maintaining a minimum attendance threshold.
