DelGrosso’s Child Care Tax Credit Bill Moves to Senate

DENVER—State Rep. Brian DelGrosso’s bill to ensure the availability of the Child Care Contribution Income Tax Credit through the year 2020 passed on a recorded vote in the House today.  


The Child Care Contribution Income Tax Credit first went into effect in 1999, but will not be available in 2011.  House Bill 1014 would ensure the tax credit will be available for years 2014 through 2019.

“More than 9,200 organizations have been able to help millions of kids because of this tax credit,” said DelGrosso, R-Loveland.  “By encouraging businesses and individuals to donate to child care programs, we are ensuring that Colorado’s children and youth will always have a safe place to go.”

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Colorado recently gave DelGrosso the “Champion of Children Award” for his work on the bill. 
House Bill 1014 passed on a vote of 61-4.   The measure now moves to the State Senate where it will be sponsored by Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango.
