S 5073 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to limit the use of funds for entities that care for unaccompanied alien children and have been identified as engaging in misconduct toward children.

This bill restricts federal funding for organizations that care for unaccompanied alien children and have been identified by the Department of Justice as engaging in misconduct involving children. It prohibits using fiscal year 2025 Health and Human Services funds for new contracts or agreements with such entities, unless the Attorney General certifies the organization has resolved the misconduct issues. The restriction applies specifically to entities found to facilitate illegal sexual abuse, harassment, or misconduct toward children in their care. This policy directly affects child care providers receiving federal funds, requiring DOJ findings and Attorney General certification before funding can resume.
