This bill establishes a new federal grant program to fund child care services specifically for the minor children of law enforcement officers, accommodating their shift work and non-traditional hours. The goal is to support police families, making it easier for officers to manage work and family life, thereby boosting recruitment and retention in public safety agencies. The program is authorized for $24 million annually through 2030.
