✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution urges New York State to remove rules that require parents to work a minimum number of hours or earn a minimum wage in order to qualify for child care assistance. Currently, these requirements block many low-income and part-time workers from getting help paying for child care. Removing these barriers would make it easier for more NYC families to access affordable child care, regardless of their work schedule or income level.
