Council introduces bill to reshape property tax credits for childcare providers

The clerk read Council Bill 52‑2026, describing a proposal to repeal the current local credit for certain daycare providers, family day care homes and group care centers and replace it with distinct credits for family providers and larger childcare centers consistent with state law.

The reading framed the measure as a local code change to align tax‑credit structure with state law authority; there was no floor debate or vote recorded in this session and the bill was introduced for subsequent consideration. "Council bill 52 20 26, enact for the purpose of repealing the current credit for day care providers... and replacing the repealed credit with separate credits for certain daycare providers and daycare credits for large childcare centers," the clerk read.
