 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.   The  Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
 6    adding Section 9A-11.3 as follows:

 7        (305 ILCS 5/9A-11.3 new)
 8        Sec.  9A-11.3.   First  Year  at   Home   Program.    The
 9    Department  of  Human  Services shall operate a First Year at
10    Home Program.  The Program  shall  provide  funding  for  one
11    parent  of  a  newborn infant to stay at home to care for the
12    child during the child's first year  rather  than  place  the
13    child  in  out-of-home  care.  For a period of 12 months from
14    the month of birth of the child,  the  Department  shall  pay
15    monthly  to  an eligible family an amount equal to 90% of the
16    licensed day care home  provider  rate,  minus  any  required
17    co-payment.   To  be  eligible  for  the  First  Year at Home
18    Program, a family  must  be  otherwise  income  eligible  for
19    subsidized child care provided by the Department and must not
20    be  a  recipient  under  the  Temporary  Assistance for Needy
21    Families Program.

22        Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect  July
23    1, 1999.
