Bill > S4880

This bill, the Child Care Workforce Act, establishes a pilot program to increase the supply of quality child care services by providing funding to states, Indian tribes, and tribal organizations to supplement the wages of eligible child care workers. The purpose is to attract and retain child care workers, improve their well-being, enhance the quality of child care services, and increase the availability of affordable child care. The bill defines eligible child care workers and outlines the grant application process, the use of funds, and requirements for wage supplements and administrative costs. It also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct an evaluation and submit a report to Congress on the pilot program's effectiveness.
