AI Summary

  • Amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to expand subsidized child care eligibility to families where a parent or caretaker works as a child-care employee or direct support professional at a child-care center or family child-care home, regardless of income level

  • Caps copayments for these child-care workers at no more than 15% of the family's annual income

  • Workers who already qualify for subsidized child care based on income will follow standard income-based copayment guidelines rather than the 15% cap

  • Adds statutory definitions for "child care" (supervision of children under 16 away from home), "child-care center" (certified premises serving 7+ unrelated children), "child-care employee," and "family child-care home" (residence serving 4-6 unrelated children)

  • Takes effect 60 days after enactment
