The bill establishes the Workforce Investment Now (WIN) for Child Care pilot program, aimed at providing publicly funded child care specifically for child care staff members in Ohio. The program will be administered by the Department of Children and Youth and will operate during the fiscal years 2026 and 2027, contingent on available funding. Notably, the bill defines "child care staff member" and specifies that eligibility for publicly funded child care will exclude all family income if the applicant's child caretaker parent is a child care staff member working at least twenty hours per week.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of $20 million from the General Revenue Fund for the Child Care Grants to support the WIN for Child Care pilot program. It mandates that the Department of Children and Youth complete a report on the program's findings within six months after its conclusion and submit it to the Governor and the General Assembly. The bill also allows for the reappropriation of any unspent funds from the Child Care Grants for the following fiscal year, ensuring continued support for the program.
