AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a Department of Labor grant program that awards two-year competitive grants to States. States could use the money to pay monthly child care stipends, of at least $500 per child, directly to child care providers for parents in semiconductor-related training, apprenticeship, or construction work. States could also use the money to help child care providers in regions with semiconductor investment build, renovate, or expand facilities, with construction workers paid prevailing wages. The stipends would not count as taxable income or against eligibility for other federally funded benefits. The bill authorizes $10 million for each of fiscal years 2025 and 2026 and requires States and the Secretary to report on results.
