Rep. Goldman Introduces Afterschool for All Act to Boost Funding by $9 Billion and Raise Corporate Taxes
The Afterschool for All Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. Since May 3, 2026, the bill has been sitting with the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means for review. No further action has been taken, and it is common for bills to stall at this stage without receiving a committee vote.

The one-percentage-point corporate tax rate increase from 21% to 22% would affect businesses organized as C-corporations, including some small businesses. While many small businesses are pass-through entities and would not be directly affected, those structured as C-corps would see a modest increase in their tax burden.
“Section 11(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking ``21'' and inserting ``22''.”
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.
