Utah community leaders, businesses, and philanthropy organizations have urged the Utah Legislature to address the state's child care crisis, warning that not funding child care demands will hurt Utah families. Lawmakers are facing a $400 million child care cliff, and there are proposals for boosting money for classroom supplies and introducing an 'outside the box' solution to the child care crisis. Additionally, a bill has been introduced to retrofit unused space in state buildings for privately operated child care facilities.
