A politician from Bucks County recently worked on a bill that would help to relieve the country’s issues related to childcare costs.

Representative Tina Davis, alongside Melissa Shusterman of Chester County, recently oversaw the creation and passing of House Bill 1259. The bill was passed through the chamber with bipartisan support, 141-62, and now heads to the state Senate for concurrence.

The purpose of the bill is to help families with childcare costs through an expansion of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Program.

“With return-to-work policies in full swing, families are once again faced with steep childcare costs and difficult decisions,” Davis said. “This bill would provide a much-needed tax break to families throughout the commonwealth.”

Davis took her oath of office back in January to continue representing 141st Legislative District, which comprises Bristol Township and Bristol Borough. The local politician has been involved in Bucks County politics since 2010.
