Bill overview
This bill proposes a new tax credit for employers of child care providers. The credit is designed to incentivize businesses to increase the wages paid to these workers. To qualify, employers must demonstrate that their average hourly child care wage has increased compared to the previous year, with a potential 7% increase for facilities in rural areas. The credit is calculated as a percentage of qualified child care wages, up to a maximum of 5% or 7% depending on location.
