HB 260-DAY CARE ASSISTANCE & CHILD CARE GRANTS
3:45:49 PM
CHAIR SEATON announced that the next order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 260, "An Act relating to the recovery of
overpayments of day care assistance and child care grants; and
providing for an effective date."
REPRESENTATIVE TARR stated that she would keep working with
community partners on an amendment for the payment structure.
REPRESENTATIVE VAZQUEZ relayed that she had raised concern about
recovery of overpayments in the heating assistance program.
3:48:16 PM
SEAN O'BRIEN, Director, Director's Office, Division of Public
Assistance, Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS),
relayed that the division had no objection to either the heating
assistance program or senior benefits being added to the
proposed bill. He stated that initially the proposed bill had
focused primarily on new regulations and new federal
requirements.
CHAIR SEATON, in response to Representative Vazquez, suggested
that the Legislative Legal Services draft an amendment as it was
"more complicated than just changing a number."
REPRESENTATIVE VAZQUEZ explained that she had been waiting for
the response from the Department of Health and Social Services,
in case there was a valid reason for not adding to the proposed
bill.
CHAIR SEATON directed attention to the written response from the
division, noting that DHSS had agreed to the suggestion
[Included in members' packets].
REPRESENTATIVE VAZQUEZ said that she would have an amendment
drafted.
3:51:18 PM
CHAIR SEATON said that HB 260 would be held over until the
amendment was available.
