Relating to collecting and sharing capacity and enrollment information for certain day-care centers.

HB 2271 requires day-care centers, group day-care homes, and family homes in Texas to submit their capacity limits and current enrollment data (broken down by age group) to the Texas Workforce Commission. The commission must then publish this information on a public child care availability portal, allowing parents to easily find facilities with open spots in their area. Providers must update this data within 30 days of any change in enrollment or capacity. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies directly to all regulated childcare facilities.
