Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the Childcare Worker Opportunity Act, a bill aimed at addressing the escalating childcare crisis in the District of Columbia. The proposed legislation seeks to repeal a stringent 2016 regulation that mandates childcare workers to hold a college degree. This rule has significantly contributed to the shortage of childcare providers and increased costs for families. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) has introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
