HB 105
SUMMARY OF BILL: Removes the requirement that grants under the Department of
Human Services’ Child Care Improvement Pilot Program (Program) be provided exclusively to
nonprofit organizations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to § 71-3-520(a), the Program is created to provide grants to nonprofit
organizations to be used for establishing a new child care agency in this state or making
improvements to, or assisting with staffing, recruitment, or salary gaps, at an existing child
care agency in this state. The Program must be operated from July 1, 2023, to June 30,
2026.
• The department received a non-recurring appropriation of $15,000,000 in FY23-24 for the
operations of the program.
• The proposed legislation does not alter the general operations nor the total funding of the
Program; it will simply expand the eligibility of various organizations. It is assumed that
such expansion will not significantly impact expenditures from the Child Care
Improvement Fund. Therefore, any fiscal impact is estimated to be not significant.
