Bill > HR5124

This bill, known as "River's Law," amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to introduce two new safety requirements for child care providers. Specifically, the bill mandates that child care facilities are now prohibited from constructing, maintaining, or operating a pool on their premises, and they must install door and window alarms in their facilities. These requirements are being added to the existing regulations that govern child care providers' safety standards. The changes aim to enhance child safety by removing potential drowning hazards and preventing unauthorized access to child care facilities. The bill modifies the existing legal code by inserting these new provisions into Section 658E(c)(2)(I) of the original Act, which outlines safety requirements for child care providers receiving federal funding through the Child Care and Development Block Grant program.
