What the document says

“is amended by inserting ", or under a contract with an intermediate entity that contracts with one or more qualified child care facilities to provide such child care services" before the period at the end.”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70401

The section inserts words into section 45F(c)(1)(A)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so that child care services provided under a contract with an intermediate entity that itself contracts with one or more qualified child care facilities count.

What the document actually says

“is amended by inserting ", or under a contract with an intermediate entity that contracts with one or more qualified child care facilities to provide such child care services" before the period at the end.”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70401
That sentence, in plain words

New words are added at the end of a rule. They cover a deal with a go-between. That go-between must contract with real care sites.

What this is about

Before this the deal had to be direct. Now a middle firm may sit in between. The care must still come from a qualified site.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
