Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Afterschool for All Act would reauthorize and significantly expand federal funding for the Nita M. Lowey Community Learning Centers program, which supports afterschool and community learning activities for school-age children. The bill would increase annual funding from $1 billion to $10 billion per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2035, providing $100 billion in total funding over the 10-year period. The legislation also removes the "21st century" terminology from the program name to reflect its updated focus. To help pay for this expansion, the bill would increase the federal corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 22 percent for all taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment. This legislation would primarily benefit schools and community organizations that operate afterschool programs serving low-income and underserved students.
