Child Care Integrity Monitoring Act of 2026
To amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to require triennial comprehensive reviews of State performance under such Act.
This bill, known as the Child Care Integrity Monitoring Act of 2026, aims to update the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 by mandating that states undergo comprehensive reviews every three years to assess their performance in providing child care services. The reviews would ensure that funds are being used effectively and that children are receiving quality care.
The bill would affect states that receive funding under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, meaning it would impact state child care programs and the children and families who rely on these services. By requiring regular assessments, the bill seeks to improve the oversight and management of child care funds, ultimately benefiting children and their families.
As of February 26, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. On March 5, 2026, the committee reported the bill with amendments, and it was placed on the Union Calendar. Recent actions include a committee consideration and a vote to report the bill (amended) on April 6, 2026.
