HR 5825 United States House · 118th Congress

CEDS Act

The CEDS Act requires state and local governments receiving federal economic development funds to include affordable, quality care services - such as child care, early education, disability care, and elder care - in their economic development plans. It directs the Commerce Secretary to issue implementation guidance within one year, explaining how to integrate these care services into existing development strategies. Existing approved plans will only need updates during scheduled reviews, not immediately upon the law's enactment. This change directly affects communities and organizations using federal grants under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965.
