Early Childhood Educator Pay Scales Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution declares an emergency to prevent a gap in childcare pay requirements. It ensures that the existing minimum salary rules for assistant and lead teachers in early childhood facilities - under the Early Childhood Pay Equity Program - remain in effect until the pending temporary act (D.C. Act 25-637) is approved by Congress. The resolution does not change pay amounts but bridges the period between the expiration of a current emergency act (January 29, 2025) and the new temporary act's effective date. It directly affects childcare facilities participating in the Pay Equity Program, requiring them to maintain current salary standards during this transition.
