Providing Child Care for Police Officers Act of 2024

This bill creates a federal grant program to help states fund child care programs specifically for the children of police officers during their irregular work shifts. States compete for grants to support law enforcement agencies (with 20% of funds reserved for agencies employing fewer than 200 officers), covering costs like facility setup, provider training, and extended hours. Grantees must contribute matching funds (10-33% over three years) and follow state licensing standards. The program, authorized for $24 million annually through 2029, aims to address child care challenges tied to law enforcement work schedules.
