The proposed bill amends section 46-803 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, concerning child care services. The current law allows the department to waive work requirements for individuals who are enrolled full-time in an accredited educational institution, remedial education activity, or employment training program that is related to their employment goals and has the potential to lead to self-sufficiency without public assistance. The new bill language removes the specific provision for continuing child care assistance for those receiving full-time child care assistance and simplifies the language to allow for a waiver of work requirements for any person enrolled full-time in such programs. The requirement for the person to demonstrate satisfactory progress in their education or training activity remains unchanged.
