## Sec. 5C-106. Child Care facilities impact statements

Prince George's County, Md., Code § 5C-106 (2026)

(a) For each applicable capital project in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) during facility planning, the Office of Management and Budget shall include in or transmit with the CIP an analysis of:

  (1) the feasibility of including child care facilities in the project; and

  (2) what capital or operating budget modifications, if any, would be needed to include child care facilities in the project.

(b) The child care analysis submitted by the Office of Management and Budget should discuss at least the following issues related to the capital project:

  (1) compatibility of child care with the underlying project;

  (2) local availability of and demand for child care in the area of the project; and

  (3) conformity of child care facilities to applicable zoning and land use plans.

(c) Each child care analysis under this Section should assign highest priority to the provisions of high quality child care in areas where the provision of child care may not otherwise be financially feasible due to large numbers of low-income parents and the resulting need for significant subsidies.

(d) As used in this section, applicable capital project means any proposed building project administered by the Office of Central Services.

(e) In performing its analysis, the Office of Management and Budget should consult the Department of Health, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Family Services, the Planning Board, and any other County department or agency with expertise in child care.

(f) The Council may in the annual budget ordinance exempt from this Section a capital project or category of capital projects which by their nature do not require child care analysis.
