Plain-English Summary

The legislation would establish a task force to study and develop recommendations on how to better support working families through policies affecting wages, benefits, childcare, healthcare, and other economic challenges. The task force would bring together officials from multiple government agencies to identify problems families face and suggest solutions that could be addressed through federal programs and regulations. The recommendations would help Congress understand what changes might make it easier for working families to afford housing, healthcare, education, and other necessities.
