Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

Section 1. Section 17b-737 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

The Commissioner of Education shall establish a program, within available appropriations, to provide grants to municipalities, boards of education and child care providers to encourage the use of school facilities for the provision of child care services before and after school. In order to qualify for a grant, a municipality, board of education or child care provider shall guarantee the availability of a school site which meets the standards set on or before June 30, 2014, by the Department of Public Health and on and after July 1, 2014, by the Office of Early Childhood in regulations adopted under sections 19a-77, 19a-79, 19a-80 and 19a-82 to 19a-87a, inclusive, as amended by this act, and shall agree to provide liability insurance coverage for the program. Grant funds shall be used by the municipality, board of education or child care provider for the maintenance and utility costs directly attributable to the use of the school facility for the [day care program] provision of child care services, for related transportation costs and for the portion of the municipality, board of education or child care provider liability insurance cost and other operational costs directly attributable to the [day care program] provision of such child care services. The municipality or board of education may contract with a child [day] care provider for the program. The Commissioner of Education may adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, for purposes of this section. The commissioner may utilize available child care subsidies to implement the provisions of this section and encourage association and cooperation with the Head Start program established pursuant to section 10-16n.

Sec. 2. Subsection (a) of section 17b-749c of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(a) The Commissioner of Early Childhood shall establish a program, within available appropriations, to provide, on a competitive basis, supplemental quality enhancement grants to [providers of child care services or providers of] child care centers or school readiness programs pursuant to section 10-16p and section 10-16u. Child [day] care [providers] centers and school readiness programs may apply for a supplemental quality enhancement grant at such time and on such form as the commissioner prescribes. Effective July 1, 2014, the commissioner shall make funds payable to providers under such grants on a prospective basis.

Sec. 3. Section 17b-749d of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

Each licensed child [day] care [provider] center receiving funding directly from the Office of Early Childhood shall adopt a sliding fee scale based on family income. The Commissioner of Early Childhood shall develop a minimum sliding fee scale which may be adjusted upward by each such licensed [day] child care [program] center. All income derived from such fees shall be used to support the licensed child care [program] center.

Sec. 4. Subdivision (12) of section 17a-93 of the 2016 supplement to the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(12) "Person responsible for the health, welfare or care of a child or youth" means a child's or a youth's parent, guardian or foster parent; an employee of a public or private residential home, agency or institution or other person legally responsible in a residential setting; or any staff person providing out-of-home care, including [center-based child day care, family day care or group day care] child care services, as defined in section 19a-77, provided at a child care center, group child care home or family child care home;

Sec. 5. Section 12-81n of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

Any municipality, upon approval by its legislative body, may provide an exemption from property tax of property subject to taxation under chapter 208 of a business which offers child care services, as defined in section 19a-77, to residents of the municipality, provided such business is not regularly engaged in the construction or operation of child [day] care [facilities] centers, group child care homes or family child care homes. Such exemption shall be in the amount of (1) up to one hundred per cent of the assessed value of the property of the business used in providing [day] child care services; and (2) up to ten per cent of the balance of the assessed value of the property of the business.

Sec. 6. Section 8-210 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(a) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Social Services or the Commissioner of Early Childhood, as appropriate, may enter into a contract with a municipality or a qualified private, nonprofit corporation for state financial assistance for the planning, construction, renovation, site preparation and purchase of improved or unimproved property as part of a capital development project for neighborhood facilities. Such facilities may include, but are not limited to, child [day] care [facilities] centers, elderly centers, multipurpose human resource centers, emergency shelters for the homeless and shelters for victims of domestic violence. The financial assistance shall be in the form of state grants-in-aid equal to (1) all or any portion of the cost of such capital development project if the grantee is a qualified private nonprofit corporation, or (2) up to two-thirds of the cost of such capital development project if the grantee is a municipality, as determined by the Commissioner of Social Services or the Commissioner of Early Childhood, as appropriate.

(b) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Early Childhood, may enter into a contract with a municipality, a human resource development agency or a nonprofit corporation for state financial assistance in developing and operating child care centers for children disadvantaged by reasons of economic, social or environmental conditions, provided no such financial assistance shall be available for the operating costs of any such child care center unless it has been licensed by the Commissioner of Early Childhood pursuant to section 19a-80. Such financial assistance shall be available for a program of a municipality, of a human resource development agency or of a nonprofit corporation which may provide for personnel, equipment, supplies, activities, program materials and renovation and remodeling of physical facilities of such child care centers. Such contract shall provide for state financial assistance, within available appropriations, in the form of a state grant-in-aid (1) for a portion of the cost of such program as determined by the Commissioner of Early Childhood, if not federally assisted, or (2) equal to one-half of the amount by which the net cost of such program as approved by the Commissioner of Early Childhood exceeds the federal grant-in-aid thereof. The Commissioner of Early Childhood may authorize child care centers [provided] receiving financial assistance [pursuant to] under this subsection to apply a program surplus to the next program year. The Commissioner of Early Childhood shall consult with directors of child care centers in establishing fees for the operation of such centers.

(c) The Office of Early Childhood, in consultation with representatives from child care centers, within available appropriations, shall develop guidelines for programs provided at state-contracted child care [center programs] centers.

The Office of Early Childhood, within available appropriations, shall provide a copy of such guidelines to each state-contracted child care center. Each state-contracted child care center shall use the guidelines to develop a program improvement plan for the next twelve-month period and shall submit the plan to the Office of Early Childhood. The plan shall include goals to be used for measuring such improvement. The Office of Early Childhood shall use the plan to monitor the progress of [the] such center.

(d) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Early Childhood, may enter into a contract with a municipality, a human resource development agency or a nonprofit corporation for state financial assistance for a project of renovation of any child [day] care [facility] center receiving assistance [pursuant to the provisions of] under this section, to make such [facility] center accessible to the physically disabled, in the form of a state grant-in-aid equal to (1) the total net cost of the project as approved by the Commissioner of Early Childhood, or (2) the total amount by which the net cost of the project as approved by the Commissioner of Early Childhood exceeds the federal grant-in-aid thereof.

(e) Any municipality, human resource development agency or nonprofit corporation [which] that enters into a contract pursuant to this section for state financial assistance for a [day care facility] child care center shall have sole responsibility for the development of the budget of the [day care program] program provided at such child care center, including, but not limited to, personnel costs, purchases of equipment, supplies, activities and program materials, within the resources provided by the state under said contract. Upon local determination of a change in the type of [day care service] child care services required in the area, a municipality, human resource development agency or nonprofit corporation may, within the limits of its annual budget and subject to the provisions of this subsection and sections 19a-77 to 19a-80, inclusive, and 19a-82 to 19a-87a, inclusive, as amended by this act, change its [day care service] child care service. An application to change the type of child care service provided shall be submitted to the Commissioner of Early Childhood. Not later than forty-five days after the Commissioner of Early Childhood receives the application, the Commissioner of Early Childhood shall advise the municipality, human resource development agency or nonprofit corporation of the Commissioner of Early Childhood's approval, denial or approval with modifications of the application. If the Commissioner of Early Childhood fails to act on the application not later than forty-five days after the application's submittal, the application shall be deemed approved.

(f) The Commissioner of Early Childhood may, in his or her discretion, with the approval of the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management authorize the expenditure of such funds for the purposes of this section as shall enable the Commissioner of Early Childhood to apply for, qualify for and provide the state's share of [a] federally assisted [day care program] child care services.

Sec. 7. Subdivision (10) of subsection (b) of section 10-500 of the 2016 supplement to the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(10) Continually monitoring and evaluating all early care and education and child development programs and services, focusing on program outcomes in satisfying the health, safety, developmental and educational needs of all children, while retaining distinct separation between quality improvement services and [child day care] licensing services for child care centers, group child care homes and family child care homes;

Sec. 8. Subparagraph (D) of subdivision (3) of subsection (a) of section 16-50p of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(D) In the case of an electric transmission line, (i) what part, if any, of the facility shall be located overhead, (ii) that the facility conforms to a long-range plan for expansion of the electric power grid of the electric systems serving the state and interconnected utility systems and will serve the interests of electric system economy and reliability, and (iii) that the overhead portions, if any, of the facility are cost effective and the most appropriate alternative based on a life-cycle cost analysis of the facility and underground alternatives to such facility, are consistent with the purposes of this chapter, with such regulations or standards as the council may adopt pursuant to section 16-50t, including, but not limited to, the council's best management practices for electric and magnetic fields for electric transmission lines and with the Federal Power Commission "Guidelines for the Protection of Natural Historic Scenic and Recreational Values in the Design and Location of Rights-of-Way and Transmission Facilities" or any successor guidelines and any other applicable federal guidelines and are to be contained within an area that provides a buffer zone that protects the public health and safety, as determined by the council. In establishing such buffer zone, the council shall consider, among other things, residential areas, private or public schools, licensed child [day] care [facilities] centers, licensed youth camps or public playgrounds adjacent to the proposed route of the overhead portions and the level of the voltage of the overhead portions and any existing overhead transmission lines on the proposed route. At a minimum, the existing right-of-way shall serve as the buffer zone;

Sec. 9. Subsection (i) of section 16-50p of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(i) For a facility described in subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of section 16-50i, with a capacity of not less than three hundred forty-five kilovolts, the presumption shall be that a proposal to place the overhead portions, if any, of such facility adjacent to residential areas, private or public schools, licensed child [day] care [facilities] centers, licensed youth camps or public playgrounds is inconsistent with the purposes of this chapter. An applicant may rebut this presumption by demonstrating to the council that burying the facility will be technologically infeasible. In determining such infeasibility, the council shall consider the effect of burying the facility on the reliability of the electric transmission system of the state and whether the cost of any contemplated technology or design configuration may result in an unreasonable economic burden on the ratepayers of the state.

Sec. 10. Section 17b-733 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

The Office of Early Childhood shall be the lead agency for child care services, as defined in section 19a-77, in Connecticut. The office shall: (1) Identify, annually, existing child care services and maintain an inventory of all available services; (2) provide technical assistance to corporations and private agencies in the development and expansion of child care services for families at all income levels, including families of their employees and clients; (3) study and identify funding sources available for child [day] care services including federal funds and tax benefits; (4) study the cost and availability of liability insurance for [child day care] providers of child care services; (5) encourage providers of child care services to obtain accreditation; (6) develop a range of financing options for child care services, including the use of a tax-exempt bond program, a loan guarantee program and establishing a direct revolving loan program; (7) promote the colocation of child care services and school readiness programs pursuant to section 4b-31; (8) establish a performance-based evaluation system; (9) develop for recommendation to the Governor and the General Assembly measures to provide incentives for the private sector to develop and support expanded child care services; (10) provide, within available funds and in conjunction with the temporary family assistance program, as defined in section 17b-680, and administered by the Department of Social Services, child [day] care services to public assistance recipients; (11) develop and implement, with the assistance of the Early Childhood Cabinet, established pursuant to section 10-16z, a coordinated and comprehensive state-wide early childhood care and education system of professional development for providers and staff of early childhood care and education programs, including child care centers, group child care homes and family child care homes that provide child care services, that makes available to such providers and their staff, within available appropriations, scholarship assistance, career counseling and training and advancement in career ladders, as defined in section 4-124bb; (12) plan and implement a unit cost reimbursement system for state-funded child care services such that, on and after January 1, 2008, any increase in reimbursement shall be based on a requirement that such centers meet the staff qualifications, as defined in subsection (b) of section 10-16p; (13) develop, within available funds, initiatives to increase compensation paid to [child day care] providers of child care services for educational opportunities, including, but not limited to, (A) incentives for educational advancement paid to persons employed by child care centers receiving state or federal funds, and (B) support for the establishment and implementation by the Labor Commissioner of apprenticeship programs for child [day] care center workers pursuant to sections 31-22m to 31-22q, inclusive, which programs shall be jointly administered by labor and management trustees; (14) evaluate the effectiveness of any initiatives developed pursuant to subdivision (13) of this section in improving staff retention rates and the quality of education and care provided to children; and (15) report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a, on the status of child [day] care services in Connecticut.
