What this bill does
H.R. 10182, the CEDS Act, would amend the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 to change the requirements for "comprehensive economic development strategies" (CEDS) that certain grant recipients must develop. Under the bill, these strategies would need to directly or indirectly increase access to affordable, quality care-based services, including child care, early childhood education, disability and long-term care, and elder care. The Secretary of Commerce would be required to issue guidance within one year of enactment explaining how recipients should incorporate these care-related goals into their strategies.
The bill primarily affects local and regional economic development organizations that receive certain federal grants under this 1965 law and are required to submit a CEDS as a condition of funding. Recipients that already have an approved strategy would not need to revise it immediately; instead, they would only be required to update it to reflect the new care-services requirement the next time a regularly scheduled update is due.
The bill was introduced on August 27, 2026, by Rep. Nikema Williams and referred to the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and Financial Services. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been considered by committee or voted on, and would need to pass the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
