West Virginia HB5157 proposes to change childcare subsidies to be based on monthly enrollment instead of daily attendance.

West Virginia HB5157 amends Section 49-2-113 of the Code of West Virginia to change how childcare subsidies are calculated. Instead of basing subsidies on daily attendance, they will be based on monthly enrollment. This change aims to provide a more stable and predictable financial support system for childcare providers. The bill also outlines various licensing, certification, and registration requirements for different types of childcare facilities and programs, ensuring they meet specific standards for safety and care.
