HB 5529 establishes the Child-Care Innovation Pilot Program to address workforce-related child-care shortages. It allows local workforce development boards to partner with employers and child-care providers to expand affordable child-care options through grants. The program prioritizes providers with Texas Rising Star accreditation and employers that support working parents. It also caps administrative costs at 10%, ensuring the majority of funds go toward direct child-care services​.
