Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Angus King has introduced the Child Care for Working Families Act, aiming to address rising childcare costs and shortages. The proposed legislation seeks to cap childcare expenses at less than $15 per day for many families, ensuring no family pays more than 7% of their income on childcare.
King emphasized that “affordable and accessible childcare is one of the most pressing needs” for working families. The bill includes provisions for opening new childcare facilities, supporting higher wages for workers, and enhancing Head Start and preschool programs.
The legislation is co-sponsored by several Democratic senators, aiming to provide significant support to communities and families struggling with childcare costs, which have surged considerably.
