U.S. Representatives Scholten and James introduce bipartisan legislation for a Tri-Share Child Care Program to reduce costs.
Quiver AI Summary
New legislation proposed to address childcare costs: U.S. Representatives Hillary Scholten and John James have introduced bipartisan legislation aimed at creating a pilot Tri-Share Child Care Program. This initiative would divide childcare costs between the caregiver, their employer, and state and federal governments, with the goal of alleviating financial burdens on families.
Support from representatives: Rep. Scholten emphasized the need for affordable childcare, recalling her own experiences, while Rep. James highlighted the significant financial strain on families in Michigan, where childcare can cost over $12,000 annually. Both representatives view the Tri-Share program as a necessary step to help families and improve workforce engagement.
Evidence of success in existing programs: The Tri-Share model has been piloted in multiple states, including Michigan, showing positive outcomes—82% of participating families reported improved ability to stay in the workforce. The proposed legislation seeks $250 million annually for three years to further support this initiative across the nation.
