About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 10, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This joint resolution disapproves a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services on May 12, 2026, that would have restored flexibility in how states manage the Child Care and Development Fund, a federal program that helps low-income families pay for child care. If passed, the resolution would completely invalidate the HHS rule, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by a group of Democratic lawmakers led by Representative Bonamici and was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The measure uses Congress's power under federal law to reject regulations issued by executive agencies, effectively overruling the administration's changes to child care funding rules. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are mentioned in the resolution itself, as it simply seeks to block the regulatory changes.
