Cutting Red Tape on Child Care Providers Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 1889, also known as the "Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990," aims to ensure that states receiving grants under this act do not prohibit licensed child care providers from performing simple food preparation of fruits and vegetables.
