The Early Childhood Educator Pay Scales Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Day Care Policy Act of 1979 to establish updated minimum salary requirements for assistant and lead teachers in child development facilities, effective January 2026. The bill introduces new definitions, including "community-based organization" and "subsidy," and makes several amendments to existing sections, such as changing the deadline for salary scale implementation from September 30, 2026, to December 31, 2025. It also mandates that child development facilities receiving funds from the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund must adhere to the new salary scales, which are detailed in specified tables.

Additionally, the bill revives and amends the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund, ensuring it continues to support the implementation of the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Program and outlines the fund's financial provisions for the upcoming fiscal years. It establishes the Early Childhood Educator Equitable Compensation Task Force, which will review salary recommendations and the state of the early childhood education workforce, ensuring ongoing evaluation and support for the sector. The act will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days unless further action is taken by the Mayor or the Council.
