Increase the nationwide supply of child care by enacting the Child Care Supply Tax Credit Act of 2025.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov shows S.3534 was introduced in the Senate on December 17, 2025 (sponsored by Sen. Mark R. Warner), read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Finance; the bill status is "Introduced."
Senate press materials from Sen. Warner's office (Dec. 18, 2025) announce the bipartisan introduction of the Child Care Supply Tax Credit Act (S.3534) with Sen. Jim Justice as a co-sponsor and describe the proposed credit (5% general, 7% rural) and a direct-pay option for nonprofits.
Assessments
The promise sought enactment of the Child Care Supply Tax Credit Act of 2025. Senator Justice co-sponsored and publicly co-introduced S.3534 (Dec 17–18, 2025), demonstrating a formal legislative effort, but the bill status on Congress.gov is "Introduced" and was only referred to the Senate Finance Committee with no recorded committee or floor passage or enactment. Because the law was not enacted, the promise was not delivered despite a documented legislative attempt.
