Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, under the Wisconsin Shares program, the Department of Children and Families provides child care subsidies for low-income custodial parents from the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). Wisconsin Shares payments may only be made to child care providers licensed or certified by DCF or child care providers contracted by a school board.
Under this bill, Wisconsin Shares payments may be made to a child care provider in this state that 1) is operating in Indian country under the licensing or regulatory authority of a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in this state, 2) has entered into an agreement with DCF to receive Wisconsin Shares payments, and 3) attests on a form prescribed by DCF, with the tribe or band, that the child care provider meets requirements for receiving payments from the CCDF and any other requirements established by DCF by rule.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
