This bill proposes the repeal of a requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services to include funding for specific child care workforce programs in its biennial budget request. The legal language being removed is found in section 2025, 141:431, VI, which directed the department to allocate the necessary funds for these programs. By eliminating this requirement, the bill effectively removes the obligation for the department to prioritize funding for child care workforce initiatives in its budget planning.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has indicated that it will have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue. No agencies were contacted regarding this bill, suggesting a streamlined legislative process.
