Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Act of 2025

H.R. 6312 would create a three-year pilot program to help make child care more affordable by splitting costs equally among three parties: employers, employees, and state and federal governments. Under this proposal, states could apply for federal grants to fund the program, and employers would be recruited to participate. Each participating employer would cover one-third of eligible child care expenses for their employees' children, with the remaining two-thirds split between the employee and the government. The program would require participating child care providers to meet health and safety standards, and families participating would not lose eligibility for other child care assistance programs. If enacted, the pilot would run for three years, after which Congress could assess the results and decide whether to continue or expand the program.
