Boehner Signs Child Care Reforms to Help Working Families

Statement

Speaker Boehner today signed S. 1086, bipartisan legislation to improve and reauthorize the Child Care & Development Block Grant Act. When this measure passed the House in September, Boehner said:

"The Child Care & Development Block Grant program has, for decades, helped millions of men and women meet the needs of work and family by providing low-income parents access to safe and affordable child care while they work or pursue education and job training opportunities. The bill we passed today continues this vital initiative, maintaining parents' ability to choose the environment that's best for their children while making critical reforms to enhance the accountability and effectiveness of the program."

The bill now goes to President Obama's desk to be signed into law.
