    How would a $5,000 tax credit affect the ability of home-based child care providers in your area to improve safety equipment or obtain required licensing?

  2. 02

    What trade-offs might exist between providing tax credits to family child care providers versus other approaches to expanding affordable child care access?

  3. 03

    Why does the bill limit the credit to a seven-year period rather than making it permanent, and what evidence supports this timeline?
