Grassley, Colleagues Introduce Bill to Expand Families’ Child Care Options, Build on Existing Bipartisan Program

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) joined Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Ranking Member Richard Burr (R-N.C.) to introduce the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Reauthorization Act of 2022. Their proposal, which serves as an alternative approach to the overbearing child care proposals Democrats pushed in their reckless “Build Back Better” tax and spending bill, works to improve affordability of child care programs and protects the ability of parents to choose the provider that best fits their family’s needs.
