Bill > HB2271

This bill requires day-care centers, group day-care homes, and family homes in Texas to submit detailed capacity and enrollment information to the Texas Workforce Commission at least monthly. The submitted data must include the facility's total desired capacity, current number of enrolled children, and available enrollment positions, broken down by age group. Facilities must notify the commission promptly about any changes in their capacity or enrollment. The information will be made publicly available through the commission's child care availability portal, which will help parents more easily find day-care centers with open spots in their local area. The Health and Human Services Commission is tasked with adopting rules to implement these requirements, and the law is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
