After Hours Child Care Act

It could also affect childcare providers and businesses that offer childcare services. **Current Status** As of now, S 3845 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced for a full Senate vote.

The bill was sponsored by Senator Todd Young (R-IN). To understand the specific provisions—such as whether it provides tax credits, grants to childcare providers, subsidies for families, or regulatory changes—you would need to review the full bill text on Congress.gov.
