What it does
Congressional Research Service, Apr 6, 2026No Funds for Repeat Child Care Violations Act of 2026
This bill subjects states to additional sanctions for improperly using funds under the Child Care and Development Block Grant program. The program provides grants to states to support child care programs for low-income working families.
Specifically, if the Office of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) finds that a state has failed to comply substantially with the requirements of the program, the ACF must impose additional sanctions, which include disqualifying the state from receiving funds under the program.
Under current law, the ACF is permitted, but not required, to take such actions for a state's noncompliance.

- Every bill starts at100
- Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.
Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out

The minority party's last attempt to change the bill by sending it back to committee. It usually fails and is usually about forcing an awkward vote.
