Establishes a pilot program to provide publicly funded child care to child care staff members in Ohio.

The bill establishes the Workforce Investment Now (WIN) for Child Care pilot program, which provides publicly funded child care to child care staff members in Ohio. The program excludes the income of the child's caretaker parent when determining eligibility if the parent is a child care staff member. The Department of Children and Youth will operate the pilot program during fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with a $20 million appropriation for fiscal year 2026.
