Rep. Danny Nadeau (R-Rogers) is trying to alleviate the financial burden for licensed in-home child care providers.

He sponsors HF633 that would establish a 50% market value exclusion for in-home family day care or group family day care providers.

“I'm trying to provide some relief for in-home family care providers,” said Nadeau. “This bill is a very simple, common-sense bill that I hope helps stabilize in-home family child care providers.”

The House Children and Families Finance and Policy Committee on a split-voice vote approved the bill, as amended, Tuesday and moved it to the House Taxes Committee.
