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, run by the Department of Children and Youth. It provides publicly funded child care to child care staff members, excluding their income from eligibility determinations if they work at least 20 hours per week. The program operates during fiscal years 2026 and 2027, funded by $20 million in child care grants. The Department must report on the program's findings to the Governor and General Assembly after its conclusion.
