Outside Section 18

Child Care Quality Fund

SECTION 18. Section 2JJ of chapter 29 of the General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby amended by striking out, in lines 7 and 8, the words, "for providing grants to not for profit child care organizations".



Summary:
This section changes the permissible uses of revenues generated through the sale of distinctive license plates and deposited into the Child Care Quality Fund. The change would permit the Department of Early Education and Care to expend the revenues to improve child care services either directly or through grants to for-profit and non-profit entities, rather than exclusively to non-profit entities as current law requires.
