H.B. No. 2294 proposes an amendment to Section 2308.3151 of the Government Code, specifically adding a new Subsection (e). This new provision allows each board to reimburse child-care providers participating in the Texas Rising Star Program at the board's maximum reimbursement rate based on the provider's rating level. However, this higher reimbursement can only be granted if it does not negatively impact the commission's target performance measure regarding the average number of children served daily in subsidized child care within the respective workforce development area.

The bill aims to enhance the financial support for child-care providers while ensuring that the overall performance metrics of the program are maintained. If enacted, this legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025.
