Governor Janet Mills has signed LD 1728, legislation that makes several affordability measures for child care instituted by her administration permanent.
Since 2019, the Mills Administration has invested more than $145 million in state and federal funding to strengthen and expand affordable early care and education across Maine. Through the Administration’s Child Care Affordability Program, more than 3,000 children can access high-quality care through a state subsidy that helps defray costs for families by paying providers directly and limiting out-of-pocket expenses based on income.
The legislation signed by Governor Mills, An Act to Improve Affordability, Stability and Access in the Child Care Affordability Program, locks those cost protections — and other key reforms — into law, to ensure lasting child care affordability for Maine families.
