Relating to the use of unclaimed lottery prize money to benefit the child-care services program administered by the Texas Workforce Commission.

SB 738 redirects unclaimed Texas lottery prize money (after 180 days) to fund child-care services. It amends state law to allocate up to $5 million annually from unclaimed prizes to the Texas Workforce Commission's child-care program, after prioritizing funds for health services, border hospitals, and veterans' assistance. This policy change takes effect September 1, 2025, applying only to unclaimed prizes selected on or after that date. The bill creates a dedicated funding stream for child-care services without altering lottery revenue generation.
