Senate Joint Resolution No. 56 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish the Child Care Protection and Enhancement Fund in Texas. This fund will be a trust outside the state treasury, specifically designated for expanding childcare capacity and enhancing state-subsidized care rates. The fund will consist of money appropriated by the legislature, gifts and donations, as well as investment earnings. The Texas legislature will have the authority to allocate funds from this trust to the Texas Workforce Commission or its successor for the purposes outlined in the amendment.

The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will allow voters to express their support or opposition to the creation of the Child Care Protection and Enhancement Fund, which aims to improve childcare services in Texas. Additionally, the amendment ensures that the fund's management expenses will be covered by the fund itself, and it establishes that any state tax revenue appropriated for the fund will be treated as constitutionally dedicated revenue.
