Establishes a tri-share child care pilot program to assist qualifying employees with child care costs.

Arizona SB1224 establishes a tri-share child care pilot program within the Department of Economic Security to help qualifying employees with child care costs. The program operates on a cost-sharing model, with costs divided among participating employees, employers, and the state. To qualify, employees must be employed by a participating employer, have a household income between 165% and 325% of the federal poverty guidelines, and not be eligible for other state or federal child care subsidy programs.
