 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to implementing
 automatic market rate increases for child care assistance

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 410-x of the social services law,
 2 as added by section 52 of part B of chapter 436 of the laws of 1997, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 4. The amount to be paid or allowed for child care assistance funded
 5 under the block grant shall be [the actual cost of care but no more
 6 than] equal to the [applicable market-related] payment rate established
 7 by the department in regulations, set in accordance with the market-rate
 8 survey or an approved alternative methodology. The payment rates estab-
 9 lished by the department shall be sufficient to ensure equal access for
 10 eligible children to comparable child care assistance in the substate
 11 area that are provided to children whose parents are not eligible to
 12 receive assistance under any federal or state programs. Such payment
 13 rates shall take into account the variations in the costs of providing
 14 child care in different settings and to children of different age
 15 groups, and the additional costs of providing child care for children
 16 with special needs.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
