How to Support a Bill

As bills move through California’s legislative process, they are presented to and heard by several committees who may recommend amendments and vote on whether or not the bill should continue through the legislative process.

As legislators decide how to vote, they consider public opinion as expressed through position letters. To support a bill, you can submit your letter through the California Legislature Position Letter Portal.

If you have any questions, contact TFC staff!

Did You Know?

Child Care Q&A's

NOTE: If you have a question you would like answered or researched, please email.

Question: Will there be a continuation of paying child care providers based on enrollment instead of attendance?

Answer: Yes. SB 120 allocates $88.5 million to continue paying child care providers based on the family's maximum need, rather than by the child's attendance.

Federal Update

Federal Government Update

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved the FY26 Senate Labor/HHS Appropriations bill on July 31st. The House Appropriations Subcommittee for Labor-HHS is expected to mark up its corresponding bill in early September. Congress must pass funding appropriations or a Continuing Resolution by October 1st to avoid a government shutdown.

As previously shared, Congress is on recess through September 2nd. In-district meetings and site visits are important opportunities to interact with policymakers, especially as the impacts of budget reconciliation cuts and structural changes begin to take effect on food assistance, Medicaid, and harsh immigration enforcement. Check House and Senate websites to find district schedulers to arrange meetings, site visits, and events in your district or state.

UPDATE: Protect Head Start & Early Head Start 

Together, we secured 587,551 comments on HHS’s notice that illegally bars some immigrant families’ access to Head Start and other programs. Thank you for taking action to protect Head Start! We’ll be sharing more information in the coming weeks.

More: Hundreds of groups push back on Trump denying lawful immigrants access to Head Start, other programs - NBC News

Additionally, Democratic Reps. Bonamici (Ore.), Hayes (Conn.), and Leger Fernandez (N.M.) led 34 of their colleagues in expressing concerns about the Trump administration’s interpretation of a “federal public benefit,” before public comment closed Wednesday.

“Reclassifying Head Start as a federal public benefit – and thereby restricting immigrant participation – threatens these jobs and weakens the vital infrastructure supporting low-income and working-class families,” the lawmakers wrote in their comment. “Denying some immigrant children access to the Head Start program would further marginalize immigrant communities who contribute significantly to our economy.”

Head Start Litigation

• Trump Admin. Pauses Ban on Undocumented Kids in Head Start in These 20 States: The Trump administration will temporarily pause enforcement of a new policy that prohibits undocumented children from attending Head Start and keeps undocumented high schoolers out of dual enrollment and early college programs after 21 Democratic attorneys general sued over the new rules.
• Hearing on Temporary Restraining Order: The Court found that the request for a temporary restraining order to prevent HHS's reinterpretation of federal public benefits as applied to Head Start was moot. This is because, in a different case (see above), the government has agreed to stay enforcement until September 10, 2025, of the reinterpretation of federal public benefits. However, that stay of enforcement only applies in certain states . An additional hearing is scheduled for September 9, 2025.
