A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL CHILD CARE ARRANGEMENTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Effective October 1, 1990, the Day Care Section of the Division of Facility Services, Department of Human Resources, shall increase the rates for independent child care arrangements from the sum of $100.00 per month per child to the sum of $125.00 per month per child for only those children who leave subsidized day care facilities and are placed in individual child care arrangements on or after that date.
Sec. 2.  The funds for the increase mandated by Section 1 of this act shall come from the savings resulting from the difference between the rates paid for a slot in a subsidized day care facility and for a slot in an individual child care arrangement.
Sec. 3.  The Day Care Section of the Division of Facility Services, Department of Human Resources, shall report to the Appropriations Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate by March 1, 1991, on the number of children that have left subsidized day care facilities for individual child care arrangements on or after October 1, 1990, and on the approximate number of new children that would likely be able to be placed in individual child care arrangements rather than in subsidized day care facilities if the rates were increased to the sum of $125.00 per child per month.
Sec. 4.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Day Care Section, Division of Facility Services, Department of Human Resources, the sum of $10,000 for the 1990-91 fiscal year to administer this act.
Sec. 5.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1990.
