The Child Care Bill
Ohio bill helps bosses pay for child care
Authorize tax credits for certain child care expenditures
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give companies money back on their taxes if they help workers pay for child care, making it easier for parents to work.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill could make it easier for parents to afford child care and stay in their jobs. If companies get tax breaks for helping with child care, more businesses might offer this support. This helps families directly by lowering a big cost. People who want to help working families should pay attention to this bill as it moves through the statehouse.
