Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This is a resolution expressing support for what lawmakers call a "Mom Economy" that would invest in policies to support working mothers. The resolution acknowledges persistent disparities affecting mothers in the workforce, including that mothers have significantly lower labor force participation than fathers, earn less than men, and disproportionately bear unpaid caregiving responsibilities while also contributing to family income. The resolution calls for Congress to prioritize investments in paid family and medical leave for all workers, universal childcare and early learning programs with higher wages for childcare workers, expanded child nutrition assistance, permanent expansion of the child tax credit, improved maternal health care, and an increase to the federal minimum wage. It also recommends passing legislation to protect LGBTQ+ mothers and reduce wage discrimination. As a resolution, this measure expresses the sense of the House but does not directly authorize spending or create new law, and no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are included in the text.
