START RATED LICENSE/QUALITY IMPROVEMENT RATING SYSTEM (QRIS) UPDATE: The Governor signed 12 bills on July 8, 2024. Including the Adjustments to the Appropriations Act (SB 357), which includes the $67.5 million for reduced compensation payments for the first two quarters of FY 24-25 and the DHHS Agency Bill (Senate Bill 425) which includes the QRIS provisions: • QRIS modernization (3 new pathways to stars) is now approved (SB 425). • Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented (SB 425). Providers in Cohort 1 are not required to go any further with a rated license assessment unless they want to, and providers in Cohort 2 do not need to start their preparation year unless they want to. • SB 425 does mean that programs currently accredited through the approved accrediting bodies can move to a 3- or 5-star license if they are not already at this star level. Providers will need to submit a request to their consultant and provide a copy of their accreditation certificate for processing. • SB 425 also requires that we move to the ERS-3 versions for ECCERS. ITERS and FCCERS, effective February 1, 2025. Self-paced online training modules regarding the new assessments will be available in September 2024. • SB 357 provides $67.5 million dollars to continue a reduced level of funding for the compensation portion only of the Child Care Stabilization Grant. Funding is designated for the first two quarters of FY 2024-25 and provides only about 75% of funding needed to maintain compensation payment amounts provided through ARPA funding which ended June 30, 2024.
