McCombie Advocates for Better Daycare Policies

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie filed a House Resolution today to help ease the burden on home daycares in Illinois. With rising costs impacting everyday life, Leader McCombie is pushing for greater affordability for working families and that starts with childcare costs.

House Resolution 923 urges the Illinois Department of Early Childhood (IDEC) to study ways to reduce licensure and regulation burdens on day care homes in Illinois.

"This is an effort to finding a solution to the unaffordable costs of childcare in our state that working families have to juggle," said McCombie. "Finding ways to reduce the cost of daycares but increasing access and reducing burdens on home daycares is an essential part of a solution."

McCombie's resolution urges the IDEC to issue a report with their findings on these items to the General Assembly by December 31, 2027.
