A wide range of organizations and groups have endorsed Sen. Deb Fischer’s (R-Neb.) Child Care Modernization Act. Fischer today introduced the bipartisan bill alongside Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.). The Child Care Modernization Act will reauthorize, for the first time in over a decade, the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) to help provide quality, affordable child care to America’s working families.
From Sen. Fischer’s press release:
“The Low Income Investment Fund applauds Senators Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Fischer (R-Neb.) for their bipartisan leadership in addressing the needs of families, child care providers and communities through the Child Care Modernization Act. By recognizing the critical importance of federal investment in child care facilities, this legislation will help modernize infrastructure, strengthen quality and ensure the health and safety of our nation’s children while helping expand our workforce,” said Low Income Investment Fund CEO Daniel A. Nissenbaum.
