Mr. RULLI. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Walberg for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand in support of H.R. 7726, the Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026. I am honored to see my bill added into this package today.
We are here talking about commonsense legislation to just stop fraud. The Government Accountability Office estimates that the Federal Government loses between $200 billion and $500 billion every year to fraud.
This bill makes sure fraudsters are stopped by adding commonsense requirements like agency coordination and data sharing to monitor fraud, explaining the processes used to investigate and recover improper payments, and highlighting the procedures used to impose sanctions when fraud is actually found.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues today to support this bill, strengthen integrity, and safeguard taxpayer dollars in the childcare block grant program.
