## Summary

**Requires federally funded child care and early learning providers to adopt a parental bill of rights.** It spells out what records and access parents can get and sets short timelines for providing those materials and viewing certain evidence. - Families and parents: Parents would receive a written bill of rights within 45 days or by a child’s first day of service. They could request monitoring reports, facility records, staff training materials and, if available, view video of an alleged abuse within 2 business days under specified conditions, plus protection from retaliation. - Child care providers: The rule would apply to center-based, family, and sectarian child care providers that receive any federal funds, including Child Care Development Block Grant and Head Start dollars. Those providers must develop and implement the required parental rights framework. - Federal agencies: The bill would direct the Department of Health and Human Services to have the Office of Child Care and the Office of Head Start inform current and potential recipients about the requirements within 30 days after the law takes effect. The bill sets the law's effective date at 30 days after enactment.

The notice would go out within 30 days after the Act’s effective date. This would not change who gets funding.
- Police access to child care videos: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would not limit police or child protective services from getting videos for investigations. It would keep current access to recordings.
