More federal oversight of child care

If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary to conduct a comprehensive review of each State that gets child care grant money every three years. The Secretary would label a State "high risk" if it has a high level of unresolved or repeated adverse audit findings, repeated failures on corrective action plans, or unresolved noncompliance with its approved State plan. States labeled high risk would face additional monitoring, with scope and frequency set by the Secretary. This would start upon enactment and would not change who qualifies for child care or how much funding States receive.
