Summary

What the bill does

This resolution would cancel a rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that gave states more flexibility in how they run the Child Care and Development Fund. The rule allowed states to skip some requirements, such as background checks and health and safety training for child care providers. If passed, the rule would be void and the old, stricter rules would stay in place.

Why it matters

The stakes

This affects families who use child care subsidies and the providers who care for their children. The stakes are whether states can ease rules to make child care cheaper and more available, or whether they must keep strict standards to ensure safety.
