A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Restoring Flexibility in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)".
Child Care Funding: Blocking New Federal Rules
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
It is very difficult to pass these resolutions because the person in the White House usually vetoes any attempt to block their own agency's rules.
Key Points
- This proposal would cancel a recent rule from the Department of Health and Human Services. That rule changed how states manage federal money meant to help families pay for child care.
- The lawmakers behind this move want to stop the agency from changing the rules for the Child Care and Development Fund. This fund is a major source of support for low income parents who need child care to work or attend school.
- By using this specific type of resolution, Congress is trying to completely wipe the new rule off the books. If it succeeds, the agency would also be banned from making any similar rules in the future.
