What this bill would do

This bill establishes a grant pilot program to provide child care services for the minor children of law enforcement officers. The goal is to accommodate the shift work and nontraditional hours often required of these officers. It aims to improve the recruitment and retention of law enforcement personnel. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will award grants to lead agencies to fund these services. A portion of the funds is set aside specifically for smaller law enforcement agencies or consortia. The program is scheduled to terminate on September 30, 2030.
