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 Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.20, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (7).
Additionally, the bill stipulates that there will be no funds allocated for administrative costs related to these appropriations, as indicated by the provision that overrides Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.98, subdivision 14, which typically governs administrative expenses. This ensures that the full amount appropriated will be directed towards improving child care services.
