The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR 1) was signed into law on July 4, 2025, with major implications for the nation’s youngest children and families. Because this impact will unfold as state legislatures make the deep cuts necessary to meet the law’s requirements, state-level advocacy is now central to protecting essential programs for young children and their families.
