## Summary

**Creates a temporary grant program to fund child care for law enforcement officers who work nonstandard hours.** The bill would have HHS, through the Administration for Children and Families, award competitive grants to lead agencies to establish and operate off‑shift child care to help recruit and retain officers. - Families: Officer families would get access to care during nights and weekends and could receive financial help for general care, care for sick children, and services for children with disabilities. - Small law enforcement agencies: At least 20% of annual funds must go to agencies with fewer than 200 full‑time officers or to consortia that include one, improving access for smaller departments. - Funding and administration: Grants would be limited in time and require a local match that ramps from 10% in year one to about 33% by year three, and lead agencies must audit recipients and ensure providers meet existing child care standards. *Would authorize $24.0 million per year for fiscal 2026 through 2030, increasing federal spending over that period.*
