Date: March 29, 1990
Subject: Child Care
Description: Stenholm (D-TX) substitute amendment to provide expanded funding for Head Start and for the Social Services Block Grant program and to increase the existing earned income tax credit for poor working families with children. The Stenholm substitute would generally provide smaller increases than were included in the Democratic leadership bill to require states to impose child-care standards in certain areas and to authorize a new school-based program for before and after-school care. The Democrats' bill would overly regulate and license existing child-care arrangements, including requiring the licensing of grandmothers providing child care.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 195-225
