SB1265

The new section creates an employer-focused information duty. It also requires the page to explain that the commission does not and may not provide legal advice, and that employers do not have to adopt a listed policy or benefit unless another law requires it. SB1265 does not itself create a new tax credit, guarantee a child-care subsidy, or require every employer to provide child care. Mentioning available credits and accounts does not establish a particular employer’s eligibility. Final law, section 1.
