A bill to require the adjustment of reimbursements made to child care providers under the child development and care program for inflation; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
The proposed legislation mandates annual adjustments for reimbursements made to child care providers under the child development and care program to account for inflation. These adjustments will be calculated using the Detroit Consumer Price Index, which is the most comprehensive index of consumer prices available for the Detroit area from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bill defines key terms such as "child care provider," referencing the definition provided in section 2 of the child protection law, 1975 PA 238, MCL 722.622, and "department," referring to the department of lifelong education, advancement, and potential. The adjustments are to commence from the effective date of the act, ensuring that reimbursements reflect current economic conditions and maintain their value over time.
