The bill mandates the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to conduct a feasibility study to assess the establishment of child care programs that cater to nonstandard hours. This initiative aims to support the minor children of individuals working in high-demand professions, such as peace officers, firefighters, medical professionals in rural areas, and construction workers. The study will include cost estimates for a pilot program that would provide start-up grants in local jurisdictions with populations exceeding 100,000.

Additionally, the bill requires the department to submit a report detailing the findings of the study to the governor and relevant legislative committees by July 1, 2025. This effort seeks to address the child care needs of families whose work schedules do not align with traditional child care services, thereby enhancing support for essential workers in the state.
