What changed in the latest version
13 added · 17 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to Bill HB 994 clarify that the Board of Education will study the possibility of allowing all active-duty military personnel who are caregivers to apply for the Child Care Subsidy Program. It also specifies that the findings will be reported to both the House Committee on Education and the Senate Committee on Education and Health, ensuring broader oversight. This is important because it could open up financial assistance for child care to more military families who need support while serving their country.
