Stop Fraud by SOMALIA Act Stop Fraud by Strengthening Oversight...
To amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to debar child care providers who commit fraud from receiving certain financial assistance, and for other purposes.
HB7923 aims to change the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990. It seeks to prevent fraud by barring child care providers who commit fraud from receiving certain financial assistance. This means that if a child care provider is found guilty of fraud, they would be ineligible for certain funding related to child care services.
This bill would affect child care providers who receive funding through the Child Care and Development Block Grant. By preventing fraudulent providers from receiving financial assistance, the bill aims to ensure that funds are used appropriately and to protect children's welfare. Parents and guardians who rely on these services for their children's care may see a positive impact if the bill passes.
As of March 12, 2026, HB7923 has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Education and Workforce. The next steps include committee review and potential hearings before the bill could move forward for a vote.
