Establishes a Tri-Share pilot program for childcare where the state, employer, and employee each contribute one-third of the cost.

The bill establishes a three-year Tri-Share pilot program for childcare in West Virginia. The program will involve participating employers, employees, and the state each contributing one-third of the total cost. The Department of Human Services will implement this program in five counties, three urban and two rural, to test its feasibility. Eligible employees must have a household income between 150-250 percent of the Federal Poverty Level and not be eligible for other childcare subsidies.
