    §  410-cc.  Start up grants for child day care. The commissioner shall
  provide funds to start up  grants  to  not-for-profit  organizations  or
  corporations  for  the  development of new or expanded all day child day
  care programs including costs related to planning, renting,  renovating,
  operating,  and  purchasing  equipment. The commissioner shall establish
  guidelines including, but not limited to, allowable costs, and  criteria
  for  eligibility  for  grants  giving preference to those child day care
  providers who will, to the maximum extent feasible, target  services  to
  households  having  incomes  up  to  two  hundred percent of the federal
  poverty standard.  The commissioner shall publicize the availability  of
  funds.  No  awards  shall  be  granted  which exceed twenty-five hundred
  dollars for a new family day care provider or new group family day  care
  provider,  and  one  hundred  thousand  dollars for a new child day care
  center. Child care resource and referral agencies may receive family day
  care start up grants not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars per
  new provider if the agency trains such new family provider  and  thereby
  expands  the  supply  of  family day care programs in the community. The
  commissioner shall  give  preference  to  those  communities  which  are
  significantly  underserved  by  existing  programs and to those programs
  which and those providers who will serve infants under two years of age.
