The bill proposes an appropriation of funds for child care services grants specifically aimed at staff training for obtaining a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. It allocates a specified amount from the general fund to the commissioner of human services for distribution to child care resource and referral programs. These programs are required to use the funds to award grants to eligible child care programs for the purpose of staff training related to the CDA credential.

Additionally, the bill states that the appropriated funds are exempt from certain provisions of Minnesota Statutes regarding child care services grants and specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, available until June 30, 2026. This initiative aims to enhance the qualifications of child care staff, thereby improving the quality of child care services in Minnesota.
