HR 7722 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Child Care Integrity Monitoring Act of 2026
H. R. 7722 To amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to require triennial comprehensive reviews of State performance under such Act.
Summary
This bill amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct comprehensive reviews of each state's performance in administering child care programs every three years. States can be designated as high-risk if they have unresolved audit findings, unresolved issues in corrective action plans, or repeated noncompliance with their approved state plans. High-risk states would be subject to additional monitoring by the Secretary. The bill aims to increase oversight of state performance in administering federal child care assistance programs.
