Proposal Aims To Expand Support For Home Day Cares

Child Care is a huge point of discussion in Utah. For a state that is huge and family-oriented and is looking to boost birthrates, this is a major factor for those looking to start one, because we are hearing from Utahns who are struggling to find affordable childcare. A new bill from Senator Luz Escamilla would help to ease the pain of childcare by expanding current definitions in the law to provide incentives for some to open home-based childcare businesses. Sen. Escamilla joins the show to discuss this proposal and other childcare priorities.
