West Virginia HB5345 mandates child care subsidy payments to be based on monthly enrollment instead of daily attendance.

West Virginia HB5345 amends the state's child care subsidy system to base payments on monthly enrollment rather than daily attendance. This change aims to provide more predictable funding for child care providers. The bill also includes provisions for evacuation plans in child care services, ensuring safety during emergencies. Child care services must update their evacuation plans annually and notify parents accordingly. The bill exempts certain programs from licensing requirements, such as those operated by public schools or private institutions recognized by the state.
