Summary of Bill A 6060 (with note on discrepancy)

Overview

Bill number and status: A 6060, introduced November 17, 2025; listed as referred to INSURANCE in the provided data. Legislative records also show related referrals to other committees for this bill.

Sponsor (primary): Pamela J. Hunter.

Related activity: Related/companion bills mentioned include A 9117, A 5253, and S 5310 (companions).

Purpose and intent

Based on the text labeled as the introduced version, the bill concerns the State’s child care assistance program and would supplement Title 30 of the Revised Statutes. The material provided does not align with the stated title about waivers for insurance coverage by excess line brokers; instead, it outlines requirements related to waiting lists and annual reporting for child care assistance.

Key provisions (as reflected in the introduced version text)

The Division of Family Development in the Department of Human Services shall:

(1) Maintain a waiting list for income-eligible persons who apply for the state child care assistance program and are notified that their applications will not be processed due to limited funding.
(2) Implement procedures to place eligible individuals on the waiting list.
(3) Establish methods to notify qualified applicants when the division will process their applications again once funding becomes available, including posting information on the division’s website.

The division shall annually publish a non-identifying aggregate report on the DHS website and provide it to the Governor and Legislature. The report must include data on:

(1) Number of applications received for the program.
(2) Number of eligible applicants approved to receive services.
(3) Number of qualified persons who applied but were notified their applications would not be processed due to limited funding.
(4) Number of applicants placed on the waiting list.

Effective date: Immediate.

Who is affected

Income-eligible individuals applying for the state child care assistance program.

The Division of Family Development within the Department of Human Services (DHS).

The Governor and the Legislature (receivers of the annual data report), and the general public (the data would be available on the DHS website).

Procedural and timeline notes

Immediate effect on enactment.

Annual reporting requirement to be published publicly and submitted to the Governor and Legislature.

Important note on discrepancy

There is a clear mismatch between the bill’s stated title (waiver of the diligent effort requirement for insurance coverage by licensed excess line brokers with unauthorized insurers) and the text provided (which governs child care assistance waiting lists and reporting). The substantive provisions describe child care program processes, not insurance coverage or excess-line broker rules. To accurately assess A 6060’s intended scope, the correct text or official bill synopsis for the insurance-related provision is needed. If you have the correct version or want a summary strictly for the insurance-related language, please share the corresponding bill text.
