2 Article IV, Section 28 of the Constitution of Missouri, for the purpose of funding each
3 department, division, agency, fund transfer, and program described herein for the item or items
4 stated, and for no other purpose whatsoever, chargeable to the fund designated for the period
5 beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, as follows:
PART 1
1 Section 2.000. Each appropriation in this act shall consist of the item or
2 items in each section of Part 1 of this act, for the amount and
3 purpose and from the fund designated in each section of Part 1,
4 as well as all additional clarifications of purpose in Part 2 of this
5 act that make reference by section to said item or items in Part 1.

CCS SS SCS HCS HB 2002 2
7 sections in Part 1 to which it attaches and shall, together with the
8 language of said section(s) in Part 1, form the complete statement

10 2 of this act shall not be severed from Part 1, and if any

22 appropriation(s) in future fiscal periods beyond June 30, 2027.

4 act:
5 The Office of Childhood may, upon approval by the

8 holidays, per month for children authorized to attend 20 or more
9 units per month and up to 6 absences per month for children
10 authorized to attend 19 or fewer units per month. Any necessary

12 maintain access for children currently enrolled in the child care
13 subsidy program and may be weighted across age groups to
14 balance program costs.
15 Except to the extent expressly authorized in Section 2.340 of Part
16 1 of this act for payments made on behalf of children under the

18 Division, no funds shall be expended in furtherance of provider
19 rates greater than the 100th percentile of the current child care
20 market for infant and toddler provider rates, as determined by the
21 2024 child care market rate survey, or greater than the 65th
22 percentile of the current child care market for pre-kindergarten
23 and school-age provider rates, as determined by the 2024 child
24 care market rate survey.

27 providers for any future rate study sufficient to validate reported
28 rates and shall not rely solely upon unaudited self-reported survey
29 responses.
30 The Office of Childhood shall work with a group of stakeholders
31 to evaluate the role of enhancements in the child care subsidy
32 program and, as warranted, make adjustments to balance rates,
33 availability, and quality to improve access to low-income
34 families and address child care availability shortages. The Office
35 shall provide a report summarizing the findings and
36 recommendations of the stakeholder group to the Governor’s
37 Office, the Senate Appropriations Chair, the House Budget Chair,
