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)".
This bill, SJR199, aims to disapprove a rule proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding "Restoring Flexibility in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)". The CCDF provides financial support for child care services to low-income families. The rule in question seeks to change how funds are allocated and used within the program. If the resolution passes, it would effectively reject the HHS rule.
The bill would impact families and organizations that rely on the CCDF for child care assistance. Changes to the rule could affect how funds are distributed, potentially impacting eligibility and services available to families in need. The outcome of this resolution could have significant consequences for child care providers and families who depend on these funds.
Currently, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. A motion to proceed with the measure was recently rejected in the Senate by a vote of 47-52. The bill's future actions will depend on further discussions and votes in the Senate.
