3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

5 Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
6 changing Section 9-6.3 as follows:
7 (305 ILCS 5/9-6.3) (from Ch. 23, par. 9-6.3)
8 Sec. 9-6.3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
9 Code, the Illinois Department shall provide child care
10 services to former recipients of assistance under Article IV
11 of this Code, and former recipients of assistance under
12 Article VI of this Code in programs administered by the
13 Illinois Department, for a maximum of 12 months when
14 assistance is cancelled because the recipient obtained
15 employment. Subject to available appropriations, the Illinois
16 Department may, by rule, provide assistance for more than 12
17 months based upon the former recipient's financial needs. The
18 Department shall establish a preemployment child care
19 application process to facilitate prompt provision of child

21 specify by rule the types or amounts of such child care, the
22 conditions of eligibility for such services and the system
23 for the preemployment application process, which shall
24 include an outreach component. Eligibility for and the amount
25 of child care provided may vary based upon family size and
26 income, as established by rule. The Illinois Department may
27 contract with other state agencies or child care
28 organizations for the administration of the child care
29 program under this Section.
