Summary
The bill modifies the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 so that states must pay child‑care providers based on the number of children they actually serve, and it permits states to make those payments through reimbursement. It also adds requirements for states to report any errors in the payment process. The changes are intended to tie funding more closely to actual attendance and improve accountability.
