<reference>305 ILCS 5/9A-11</reference><aliasreference>from Ch. 23, par. 9A-11</aliasreference><SynopsisText>     Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that, beginning July 1, 2020, a family eligible for child care services whose income is at or below 185% of the most recent United States Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines for the applicable family size shall pay a $1 fee as a co-payment for child care services. Deletes a provision that: (i) requires the Department of Human Services to establish, by rule, a co-payment scale that provides for cost sharing by families that receive child care services, including parents whose only income is from assistance under this Code; and (ii) that require co-payments to be based on family income and family size and other factors as appropriate. Removes a provision that authorizes the Department to raise parent co-payments.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
