LD 573 (HP 368)	An Act Regarding Child Care Subsidy Payments And Eligibility	This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to establish payment rates for child care services commensurate with the cost of care, rather than based on market rates for care. It requires that the department, in determining the eligibility for early childhood educator workforce salary supplements, develop a process for evaluating and accepting qualified training provided and degrees awarded outside of the training network of the entity contracted by the department to evaluate eligibility for such salary supplements. It requires that the department direct the entity responsible for determining quality indicators for child care services to develop a ratings system for child care sites based on average performance, rather than on the lowest performing indicator.
