SB 778: Migrant childcare and development programs.
What SB 778 does, verified December 7, 2025
The bill aims to amend childcare and development programs, specifically migrant childcare and development programs. A "migrant agricultural worker family" is redefined as a family where at least one individual earns 40% of their total gross income from fishing, agriculture, or agriculturally related work. This change would allow more families to be eligible for these programs. The bill requires the department to ensure consistency in self-certification of income for migrant child care and development programs. This would simplify the enrollment process and provide more opportunities for eligible families.
