Child Care Stabilization Passes the Legislature

Today the North Dakota House passed 1422 by a vote of 86-7 and the Senate followed by passing it unanimously. The bill raises eligibility for child care subsidies to 85% of State Median Income. The bill now goes to the Governor for signature. If the Governor signs the bill (which is expected), the action will make child care incredibly affordable for North Dakotans.

 

The change allows a single parent of two children to receive child care subsidies with an income of up to $60,000/year.
