Plain-English Summary

Congress would reject a new rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that changes how states can use federal child care funding, potentially allowing more flexibility in how child care programs operate and who they serve. The rule is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce, which will decide whether to move forward with blocking it. If approved, this would prevent the new rule from taking effect.
