Requires the division to develop criteria for enhancements to the reimbursement rates paid to subsidized child care providers for demonstrated quality program components. Requires the superintendent, based on the assessment prepared by the division, to provide specified recommendations to the Legislature to improve the rate setting procedures of the division.

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | Changes the maximum age for program eligibility to 13, and modifies the definition of ''parent'' under the Child Care
and Development Services Act. Deletes provision providing a formula for determining whether a family is eligible to receive services under the Child Care and Development Services Act based on the family's income. Deletes provision that children who were receiving services as of January 1, 1998, in certain child care programs, whose family income is above the eligibility level may continue to receive services so long as they continue to meet criteria that applied to the program on December 31, 1997.
Existing law provides that the assigned reimbursement rate for alternative payment programs includes the cost of child care plus the
administrative cost of the alternative payment program. This bill imposes a limit on administrative costs for the alternative payment program.
Existing law contains various provisions relating to the implementation of the plan developed by the Commission on Child Care and Development Services and the expansion of child care and development services. This bill deletes these provisions as they have been superseded by existing law. The existing law requires the State Department of Education to disburse augmentations to the base allocation for the expansion of child care and development programs, with certain requirements. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_2501-2550/ab_2525_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf

| ME | Signed into law 05/2004 | P-12 | The bill provides that by fiscal year 2009-10 the state share of kindergarten to grade 12 education funding, as described by essential programs and services, must be 55%. It also establishes a local cost share expectation for property tax years beginning on or after April 1, 2005. The Commissioner of Education shall annually notify each school administrative unit of its expectation. This expectation must decline over the period from fiscal year 2005-06 to fiscal year 2009-10. The expectation may not exceed 9.0 mills in fiscal year 2005-06. It may not exceed 8.0 mills in fiscal year 2009-10. The legislative body of a school administrative unit may not adopt a property tax rate that exceeds its mill expectation unless, in a vote separate from its adoption of the school budget, it votes to increase the property tax rate.
The bill also places transportation operating costs into the essential programs and services funding formula. It also states that special education costs will be included in essential programs and services starting in fiscal year 2005-06. Beginning in fiscal year 2004-05, the Department of Education will provide training in state-approved guidelines for identification of special education students. The bill also places early childhood education program costs and vocational education program costs into essential programs and services no later than fiscal year 2007-08.
Note Sec. 16:
Basis for funding costs of education from kindergarten to grade 12. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning in fiscal year 2005-06, funding of the costs of education from kindergarten to grade 12 must be based on the cost of providing essential programs and services as described in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, chapter 606-B.
