The bill establishes a pilot program in North Carolina to create a reduced-cost childcare facility through a public-private partnership. The Legislative Services Office will select a site and issue a request for proposals to choose a third-party operator for the facility. The operator must provide childcare rates at least 25% below current market rates and ensure childcare providers are paid at least 180% of the federal minimum wage, with annual increases. The facility will offer priority placement for state employees and those from partnering institutions of The University of North Carolina.
