What it does
The No Waivers for Fraud Act of 2026 would amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to eliminate the authority of federal officials to waive sanctions imposed on states that fail to comply with the Act’s requirements. By removing provisions that allow for waivers of sanctions, the bill aims to ensure that states found noncompliant face consistent enforcement without exceptions. This change affects state agencies administering child care assistance programs, requiring them to adhere strictly to federal standards or risk automatic sanctions. The bill does not create new sanctions but prevents their avoidance through waiver processes.
