Senate Bill 1555 amends the Government Code to require each local workforce development board to establish and implement graduated reimbursement rates for child‑care providers participating in the Texas Workforce Commission's (TWC) subsidized child‑care program that align the TWC age groupings with the child‑to‑caregiver ratios and group sizes adopted by the Health and Human Services Commission. Among other provisions, the bill provides that the graduated rates must provide the highest reimbursement rate to the providers that provide care to children in the age group with the lowest child‑to‑caregiver ratio.
