Bill Alert!

Yesterday, Senator Jim Burgin filed SB 1042, which would provide a $75 million investment in child care in North Carolina. Our child care system has reached a crisis point, and that's left families without access to reliable, affordable care that they need for their children. This bill takes meaningful steps to solve the child care crisis by investing in the system and requiring the development of a statewide subsidy reimbursement rate floor, one of NC Child's top priorities. We are grateful to Senator Burgin for putting children and families first and for championing legislation that stabilizes the child care system throughout the state.
