The Child Care Bill
Tax refunds for child care providers renting facilities
Property tax refund program established for child care providers that rent a child care facility, report required, and money appropriated.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, child care providers who rent a building would get a property tax refund after they file a report, lowering their operating costs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Parents could see cheaper daycare fees, but the state will pay for the refunds, so taxpayers bear the cost; supporters say it helps providers stay open.
