This legislative proposal, titled the "No Funds for Repeat Child Care Violations Act," seeks to amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990. Its primary purpose is to strengthen the federal government's ability to enforce compliance among states receiving child care funds. The bill specifically modifies Section 658I(b)(2)(B) of the Act, changing the language from "Secretary may" to "Secretary shall" withhold funds from noncompliant states. This critical change transforms the Secretary's discretionary power into a mandatory duty, ensuring that funds are withheld from states that fail to adhere to the Act's provisions, especially in instances of fraud.
