BILL NUMBER:A3660C

TITLE  OF BILL:  An act to amend the social services law, in relation to
requiring social services  districts  to  maintain  a  waiting  list  of
certain families applying for child care assistance

PURPOSE  OR  GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to create
mandatory waiting lists for subsidized  child  day  care  and  establish
reporting  of  income levels for families applying for child care subsi-
dies.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill amends section  410-z  of  the
social services law.

A  new  subdivision  two is added to require all local districts to keep
waiting lists of eligible applicants for child day  care  subsidies  and
outlines  specific  reporting  requirements to the governor and legisla-
ture.

A new subdivision three is added requiring all local districts  to  keep
data on the income levels of families applying for child care subsidies,
including those that were denied and those that were accepted.

A  new  subdivision  four  is  added  establishing annual reports to the
governor and legislature.

JUSTIFICATION: Many low-income families rely on subsidized child care in
order to maintain employment and ensure financial security. With this in
mind, New York State strives to secure adequate funding  each  year  for
child  care  assistance.  In order to advance this goal, it is necessary
that an accurate estimate is made  of  the  outstanding  need  in  local
districts  for  subsidized child care. By establishing mandatory waiting
lists, the number of families and the length of time they must wait  for
child care assistance can be determined.

In  addition,  the income level of families receiving child care assist-
ance must be determined so lawmakers can understand  who  the  subsidies
are  reaching  and  whether  current income eligibility requirements are
appropriate. for-profit corporations to provide  child  welfare  at  the
discretion of each state.
