This bill is in the early stages of the legislative process and is currently sitting with the House Committee on Education and Workforce. Since June 9, 2026, no further action has been taken by the committee. Most bills do not receive a committee vote, so this proposal is not moving forward at this time.

Unlikely to pass

These types of resolutions rarely pass unless the opposition party has a large majority and can override a veto.

Key Points

This proposal is a formal move to cancel a new rule from the Department of Health and Human Services. The rule is meant to give states more flexibility in how they use federal child care money.
The money comes from the Child Care and Development Fund. This program helps families with low incomes pay for child care so parents can work or attend job training.
By blocking this rule, the lawmakers want to prevent changes to how the program is run. They believe the new flexibility might not be the best way to help families or maintain care standards.
If both the House and Senate pass this and the president signs it, the rule will be completely erased. The agency would also be blocked from making a similar rule in the future.
