This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to reject a Department of Health and Human Services rule titled "Restoring Flexibility in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)," which was published in May 2026. If passed, the resolution would nullify that rule entirely, meaning it would have no legal force or effect going forward. The measure affects the federal Child Care and Development Fund program, which provides subsidies and support to help low-income families afford child care, as well as state agencies that administer these funds under federal guidelines. Introduced by Senator Murray along with several Democratic cosponsors, the resolution was discharged from the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee by petition in late July 2026 and placed directly on the Senate calendar for a vote. The resolution does not create new funding or programs; it simply blocks the HHS rule from taking effect, leaving prior CCDF regulations in place.
