Child Care for Every Community Act
Rep. Sherrill Introduces Bill to Provide Universal Child Care With Costs Capped at 7% of Income
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the House Committee on Education and Workforce. It is considered active because the sponsors recently updated the primary leadership for the bill. There are no upcoming votes or hearings scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill proposes a massive increase in federal spending and a new government program, which lacks the bipartisan support needed to pass in the current political climate.
