Modernize the Au Pair Program Act of 2025

Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget a proposed rule that shall—

(1) provide a uniform national modification to the stipend and the educational stipend provided by a host family to an au pair, in a manner that does not make the program prohibitively expensive for and reflects the room, board, and other programmatic costs borne by a host family;

(2) enhance flexibility in the au pair program, to accommodate unique work and family scheduling needs of military families, first responders, single parents, shift workers, and other host families with non-traditional work schedules; and

(3) promote the immersion of an au pair into the family life of their host family, consistent with the cultural exchange purposes of the au pair program.
