The bill proposes an appropriation of $2,500,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to support child care improvement grants. These grants will be administered by the commissioner of children, youth, and families, specifically under the provisions outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.20, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (7).
Additionally, the bill stipulates that there will be no funding allocated for administrative costs associated with these appropriations, as indicated by the provision that overrides Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.98, subdivision 14. This ensures that the entire appropriated amount is directed towards improving child care services.
