House passes legislation for accessible and affordable child care

Iowa faces a workforce short-age and over the last several sessions, House Republicans have made it a priority to ad-dress this challenge. Over the years, legislators have worked in a bipartisan way to pass the Future Ready Iowa Act and Last Dollar Scholarship pro-gram to help Iowans access career training programs and advance in their careers. The next step to ease Iowa’s work-er shortage is addressing the issue of child care. House Re-publicans have introduced a robust package of legislation this session to improve access to child care for Iowa families.
