Moderated by FFYF Executive Director Sarah Rittling, the two lawmakers discussed the importance of affordable, accessible child care and their bipartisan legislation – the Promoting Affordable Childcare for Everyone (PACE) Act.
The PACE act modernizes two specific tax credits, the Child Care and Dependent Tax Credit (CDCTC) and Dependent Care Flexible Spend Accounts to help more parents afford the child care they need. Read more about it here.
