This bill would update federal child care rules, making it easier for low-income families to find and afford care. It would also create new grants to help child care providers open new facilities and expand services, especially in areas with shortages. States would need to ensure child care payment rates cover actual costs and that family fees are not a barrier.

This bill would make the government improve how it tracks money spent on internet access across the country. It would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to study the Broadband Funding Map and ask the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review how federal agencies use it. The goal is to ensure taxpayer money is spent efficiently and avoids funding duplicate internet projects.
