The bill proposes an appropriation of $2,500,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to support child care improvement grants. These funds are designated for the commissioner of children, youth, and families and will be utilized in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 142D.20, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (7).

Additionally, the bill specifies that there will be no administrative costs associated with these appropriations, as indicated by the provision that states, "Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.98, subdivision 14, the amount for administrative costs under these appropriations is $0." This ensures that the entire allocated amount will be directed towards improving child care services.
