Texas HB4598 imposes an employer contribution to support the subsidized child care services program administered by the Texas Workforce Commission.

HB4598 amends the Texas Labor Code to establish an employer contribution for the subsidized child care services program. Employers must contribute 0.15 percent of all wages paid during a calendar year to the Texas Workforce Commission. This contribution cannot be deducted from employee wages. The Texas Workforce Commission will forward these contributions to the state comptroller, who will deposit them into a dedicated account. The funds can only be used for the subsidized child care services program, with up to five percent allowed for administrative costs.
