Relating to certain duties of the Texas Workforce Commission with respect to child-care resources.
HB 5122 requires the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to create and maintain a webpage on its website with current, comprehensive resources to help employers support employee parents seeking child care. The webpage must include information on child-care assistance, tax credits, dependent care savings accounts, employer best practices, free tools, and optional policies - without providing legal advice or mandating employer action. TWC must post this information by February 1, 2026, and the bill takes effect September 1, 2025. This bill directly affects Texas employers seeking to support employee parents by providing accessible, non-binding resources.
