Utah SB0248 establishes a program to expand child care capacity through employer-sponsored facilities.

Utah SB0248, the Child Care Expansion Act, creates the Employer-Based, State-Assisted Child Care Capacity Expansion Program. This program aims to expand the state's supply of high-quality and affordable child care seats, support employers in securing a reliable workforce, and promote economic growth. The Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) will identify and retrofit state-owned buildings into child care facilities. Employers can lease these facilities and must contract with licensed child care providers to operate them.
