Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Despite the uncertainty, absent this bill, of the results of future negotiations or of future arbitrators' binding decisions 
relating to negotiated cost items between family child care providers and the State, it is probable that over time the 
cost to the State of contracts with family child care providers would be lower under this bill than if the State were to 
continue engaging in collective bargaining. 
The Department of Administrative and Financial Services will experience minor savings in collective bargaining 
costs.
