Relating to a study regarding the cost of child care in this state in comparison to family income.
SB 2391 requires the Texas Workforce Commission to study how child care costs in Texas compare to family income, including trends in costs, comparisons to federal poverty levels and state median income, and the availability of government subsidies for child care. The study must also estimate how many families qualify for subsidized child care programs. The commission must submit its findings to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house, and relevant legislative committees by December 15, 2026. This bill does not change existing laws but mandates data collection to inform potential future policy decisions.
