For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.

health and human services
Children
Under current law, DHFS may license a person to operate a day care center, a county department of human services or social services (county department) may certify a day care provider for reimbursement under the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program, and a school board may establish or contract for the provision of day care programs for children. This bill requires DWD to provide a child care quality rating system that rates the quality of the child care provided by a child care provider that is licensed by DHFS, certified by a county department, or established or contracted for by a school board and to make the rating information provided under that system available to parents, guardians, and legal custodians of children who are recipients, or prospective recipients, of care and supervision from a child care provider, including making that information available on DWD's Internet site.
Wisconsin Works
Under current law, a child care subsidy is available under the W-2 program, which is administered by DWD, to an individual who needs child care to maintain employment or pursue basic or technical college education. Under this child care subsidy program, DWD reimburses child care providers directly and distributes funds to county departments and American Indian tribal governing bodies for child care services provided to children of migrant workers and to children of W-2 participants. Under the statutes county departments are required to set maximum reimbursement rates for child care providers that provide child care services under the child care subsidy program. This bill provides that DWD may establish a tiered reimbursement system for the child care subsidy program. Under such a system, a child care provider would be reimbursed at a rate that is based on the child care quality rating system established by DWD under the bill that rates the quality of the child care provided by a child care provider. The amount paid to a child care provider under the tiered reimbursement system may exceed the maximum reimbursement rate set by the county department.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 49.155 (6) (e) of the statutes is created to read:
49.155 (6) (e) The department may establish a tiered reimbursement system under which the department reimburses a child care provider for child care services provided under this section at a rate that is based on the child care provider's quality rating under the rating system established under s. 48.982 (5). Notwithstanding pars. (a), (b), and (c), the rate at which a child care provider is reimbursed under a system established under this paragraph may exceed the maximum reimbursement rate established under par. (a), (b), or (c).
SECTION 2. 49.982 (5) of the statutes is created to read:
49.982 (5) The department shall provide a child care quality rating system that rates the quality of the child care provided by a child care provider that is licensed under s. 49.98, certified under s. 49.156, or established or contracted for under s. 120.13 (14). The department shall make the rating information provided under that system available to the parents, guardians, and legal custodians of children who are recipients, or prospective recipients, of care and supervision from a child care provider that is licensed under s. 49.98, certified under s. 49.156, or established or contracted for under s. 120.13 (14), including making that information available on the department's Internet site.

Under current law, general program operations for the program under which child support obligations are established, modified, and enforced may be paid from various appropriation accounts, including appropriation accounts containing federal moneys, general purpose revenue, and moneys from fees. This bill adds another appropriation account from which general program operations of the state's child support program may be paid: an appropriation account containing moneys assigned to the state by current or former public assistance recipients and transferred from the support collections trust fund, which contains child support paid by persons with child support obligations, delinquent child support collections, moneys received from DOR that were withheld from state income tax refunds owed to persons with delinquent child support obligations, and moneys received under judgments and orders in actions affecting the family.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
