WASHINGTON — House lawmakers passed legislation aimed at cracking down on an $8. 83 billion federal child care grant that was once estimated to have had $325 million worth of improper payments. The No Funds for Repeat Child Care Violations Act cleared the House in a 217-207 vote Wednesday, with all Republicans and only four Democrats backing the bundle of anti-fraud measures targeting the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program.
