State employee child care.

HB 206 requires Wyoming's Department of Administration to establish and operate a free certified child care facility within the state capitol complex for eligible state employees. The facility will serve children of employees from the executive branch, judiciary, and legislature, with no cost to the employees. The bill mandates the Department of Administration to either run the facility directly or contract with certified providers, while also requiring the department to submit a budget request for funding by July 2024. It amends existing laws to define key terms and specifies that the facility must comply with state child care certification standards. The law takes effect July 1, 2023.
