The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (23 Jul 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
What this bill does
H.R. 9930, the Supporting Our Military Child Care Workforce Act, would require the Secretary of Defense to report to Congress on the implementation of a redesigned compensation model for the Department of Defense's child development program. This redesign was previously required under section 589A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025. The bill would require these reports annually, starting within one year of enactment, until the redesign is fully implemented. Each report must include the status of implementation, an expected timeline for completion, and a breakdown of which requirements have and have not been met, with information separated by military branch. Reports would also have to be posted publicly on a Department of Defense website within 30 days of submission to Congress.
The bill primarily affects the Department of Defense, which would take on new reporting and public-disclosure obligations, and indirectly affects military families and child care workers who rely on or work within DOD child development programs, by increasing oversight of pay-related changes in that system.
The bill was introduced in the House on July 23, 2026, by Rep. Brittany Pettersen with a cosponsor, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. As an introduced bill, it would need committee consideration, potential amendment, and votes in the House and Senate, followed by presidential signature, before becoming law.
