Providing Child Care for Police Officers Act of 2023
This bill establishes a federal grant program to help states fund child care for the minor children of police officers during their irregular work schedules. It provides competitive grants to states, with 20% reserved for jurisdictions employing fewer than 200 officers, to support law enforcement agencies in creating or expanding child care services. States must match federal funds (10-33% over three years) and use grant money for startup costs, provider training, sick child care, extended hours, or facility construction. The program runs through 2028, requiring annual audits and two federal studies to assess its effectiveness.
