Child Care Regulatory Reforms

Complete·7/1/25

North Carolina H412 reforms child care regulations by decoupling the quality rating system from subsidy reimbursement rates and making other.

North Carolina H412 enacts significant child care regulatory reforms. It decouples the quality rating improvement system (QRIS) from the subsidized child care subsidy reimbursement rates, ensuring that star ratings do not impact reimbursement rates. Licensed child care centers and homes will be paid the one-star county market rate or the rate they charge privately paying parents. The bill also mandates the development of a plan to separate the QRIS from the subsidized child care program by May 1, 2026.
