The H.R.2763 text says it would amend the Internal Revenue Code to establish a refundable child tax credit with monthly advance payment, create Section 24A monthly child tax credit, and apply the changes for taxable years beginning after 2024.
Assessments
The promise was to support permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit, not necessarily to enact it alone. Garcia materially supported that policy in her current federal term by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R.2763, the American Family Act, which would establish an ongoing refundable monthly Child Tax Credit. The bill remained introduced and referred to Ways and Means rather than enacted, but that does not defeat a support-focused promise.
