The Child Care Bill
Tax credit helps families pay child care costs
Income tax; providing credit for certain child care expenses and child care workers. Effective date.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would give Oklahoma families a tax credit for child care expenses and for hiring child care workers, lowering their tax bill.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, families could keep more money when they pay for daycare. That could make child care more affordable. Child care workers might get more jobs and higher pay. The state will collect less tax money, which could affect other services. The bill is just starting, so citizens can share their thoughts now.
