Child care providers convicted of numerous crimes, including child abuse, would be barred from participating in Wisconsin's troubled subsidy program under a bill headed to the full Legislature.

Current law allows for providers convicted of many offenses to show they have been rehabilitated and take part in the Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy program.

The proposal passed unanimously by the Legislature's budget committee on Tuesday also makes clear in state law that no one on the state's sex offender registry can participate, or live with, anyone in the program.

The $350 million taxpayer-funded Wisconsin Shares program pays child care costs for poor people so they can work.

The bill's expected to pass the Legislature Thursday.
