FAM 2022-1 | Child Care
Impact on Children: 

This bill allows for better child care requirements and more access to child care. This would help our parents to be able to make sure their children are cared for in a proper place while they are working to provide for their families. We support more access to child care as well as better access to quality child care. This bill allows just that. In the state of Utah, we are becoming more and more a 2 income household state, and know that child care is needed more than ever.
